This weekend three former Anglican Bishops will become the first priests of the new Ordinariate for England and Wales. The Most Rev Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster explains to our presenter Jane Little how it will all work. Scotland's most senior Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien tells Jane Little about the appalling poverty he's witnessed in Haiti, one year on from its devastating earthquake. According to estimates from the Church of England, there is a ratio of one male to every four female worshippers in many churches. Our Reporter Kevin Bocquet looks into the reasons why men are not attending church and what's been done to try and remedy this. David Frei, Registrar of the London Beth Din, the Chief Rabbi's Rabbinical Court and Alexandra Wright, Senior Rabbi of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue at St. John's Wood in London debate the issue of organ donation and how you decide the point of death which determines the moment at which someone's organs can be removed.
