Jonathan Thomas explores partnerships between people with and without a faith; marriages where one person is a Christian and the other isn鈥檛, or a workplace where one person has a faith that others don鈥檛 share.

Traditionally, Christians have been discouraged from marriages between those who have a faith and those who don鈥檛. Yet nearly a third of marriages in the United Kingdom are between one person with a faith and one without. We ask to what extent religion becomes a thorny issue, and is there something unique about faith which simply must be held in common? We鈥檒l hear from two Christians, married to atheists, about how they broach and tackle these issues. Professor Lee Williams from San Diego University in California shares his research into this topic, and Stephen Clark examines pertinent theology.

We鈥檒l look at the workplace; are partnerships enhanced or strained if you don鈥檛 share the same faith? Can the workplace feel hostile if those around you don鈥檛 share your religion, or can, in fact, benefits be found from collaborating with those from a different perspective? Christian Aid in Wales explains how their work is enhanced by relationships with others from a different perspective and Barrister Alasdair Henderson discusses the best way to approach religious belief in the work place.
