Jürgen Moltmann; Cricket’s drinking culture; Woke as a religion

A look at the ethical and religious issues of the week with William Crawley.

The world’s first Sikh court opened recently in the UK. Campaigner Pragna Patel of Project Resist has called it ‘a threat to women’s rights’. The barristers behind the court argue that it’s a way of plugging a gap in the legal system that’s desperately needed. Pragna and Sharan Bachu, Lead Family Judge at the Sikh Court, debate the issues.

The leading Protestant theologian, Jürgen Moltmann, died this week. We talk to Miroslav Volf, Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture, about the man who found God in a prisoner-of-war camp and his theology of hope.

Is cricket based on drinking culture and does this unfairly affect the opportunities available to Muslim players? We’re joined by ex-England cricket player Azeem Rafiq and commentator Vic Marks who discuss the culture of the game.

Is woke a religion? Professor Eric Kaufmann from the University of Buckingham and Professor Will Davies of Goldsmiths, University of London explore whether the movement is religious.
