Roy Jenkins looks back at some of the events and issues which have featured in All Things Considered over the past twelve months. We have explored monarchy and mental health, space travel and social media, poverty and protest and much more, seeking always to reflect in the light of religious faith.
It has been a year of deep divisions and high political drama. As the initial Brexit deadline loomed, we discussed the role of prayer at such a time. We explored the grim facts of slavery in today’s Wales; we marked the 50th anniversary of the moon landings and the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales. And on one of the most important dates in the Islamic calendar, Mary Stallard visited North Wales’s oldest mosque, in Bangor where the celebration was in full swing.
