Christian Concord
‘YNE of the most interesting features the Sunday National Programme has given us recently was the half-hour Christian Forum in which the Abbot of Downside, Dr Donald Soper, and Viscount Hailsham (better known as the turbulent Conservative, Quintin Hogg) answered questions from boys of the Bristol Grammar School. I don’t know which was the more admirable-the searching nature of the questions, which dealt with religion and science, the Christian attitude to military service, Communism, and divorce, or the skill with which the panel went right to the heart of the matter in each case. The degree of agreement was greater than one might have expected, save on the question of military service, where a division of opinion betrayed Dr Soper into’ testiness-not the only interesting personal touch in the programme. The serious and intelligent nature of this session led me to hope that we may look forward to a revival of Christian Question Box, the not dissimilar local programme which was so acceptable on the air last year. ;
