Institutional failure - is it hardwired into their DNA?

Category: Religion & Spirituality

Description:

This week's resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury has once again cast a spotlight on how the Christian Church as an institution deals with people in its ranks who abuse children in the most horrific of ways. Why is it so difficult for people at the top of religious institutions to instantly know that child abuse is a crime which must be reported to the police? Why are the abusers, rather than the victims, protected? How can the faithful have faith...does the revolution for change have to start at the bottom? Questions not just for the Church: from the BBC to the Post Office to the Metropolitan Police. Is the knee jerk response from institutions at the heart of society self protection? Audrey Carville is joined by theologian Dr Elaine Storkey, Queen's University academic Dr Leon Litvack and political communications consultant, author and former EU diplomat David Harley.
