b'
In this Podcast we interview Robert Wickham the Bishop of Edmonton about Faith in the Community.
\\nToday religion is playing a more important part in many people\\u2019s lives than it did a decade or so ago even though the number attending traditional churches has declined.
\\nWhy is this and how important is it that faith organisations engage with communities not to just to increase their numbers but because they want to confront some pressing social problems.
\\nBishop Rob is passionate about civil society playing a major part in tackling the issues of knife crime, youth violence, school exclusions and poverty. Bishop Rob studied at the university of Durham, where he studied geography, especially urban regeneration, and perceptual geography.
\\nHe has worked in some Parishes before becoming a Bishop that were some of the most deprived in the UK and has been involved in the food bank and credit union movement.
\\nWhat then does religion play in a society that faces huge social and economic problems. This is what we will discuss with Bishop Rob.
