STATION XV

http://station15.co.nz

Episode 91
April 16, 2015

The Station 15 crew is basking in the post-Easter glow, but the Pope's
Easter message and its plea for peace around the world highlights the
great challenges that are being faced by many, including Christians in
various parts of the globe. Despite those challenges, the Church
continues to grow, but some experts are predicting quite a change in
the religious adherence of people over the next several decades. Maybe
that will help us better understand people of other religions or none,
but it's too late for a New Zealander who's been jailed in Myanmar for
causing religious offence. Meanwhile, some people hope it's not too
late to have another attempt at an English translation of the Mass.
All this and more with Helen, Gabriel, James, Don and Gavin in a busy
episode of The 15th Station.
