We're asking how your place of worship is tryng to go green? Is it heatpumps or retrofitting? Were there battles on the way? It comes as Emily hears the story of St John's Church in Waterloo which went through court battles and massive bills in the quest to become energy efficient. There's concern from human rights groups about Iraq's plan to halve the age of marriage for girls to 9, We hear from Iraqi-born campaigner Payzee Mahmod and BBC Middle East Editor Sebastian Usher. Astronaut Barry 'Butch' Wilmore is stranded on the International Space Station with his colleague Sunita Williams, until Nasa can work out how to bring them home. In the meantime we've been talking to his Pastor Tommy Dahn from Providence Baptist Church in Texas about Barry's faith, his role as a lay Elder and how Space missions have solidified his belief in God. And the new Faith Minister was announced this week. Lord Khan takes up the role. What do faith leaders need from him in the wake of the riots this month and division caused by the conflict in Gaza?
