Virtual Reality baptisms; Asia Bibi's lawyer

Sunday morning religious news and current affairs programme presented by William Crawley.

Asia Bibi's lawyer, Saif-ul Malook, was named Secularist of the Year this week by the National Secular Society. This week he returns to Pakistan after forfeiting his asylum in the Netherlands in order to fight another blasphemy case. He tells us why.

Diarmaid MacCulloch joins us to explain why is he so concerned at a British Academy report this week warning that Theology and Religions courses are at risk of "disappearing" from universities.

And a US pastor baptising people in the online world of virtual reality explains why the idea could catch on.
