Moral messages in sermons and a church restoration

Moral messages in sermons, the Bishop of Oxford, the restoration of St James the Apostle in Somerton, and it's 500 years since children were taught "in English" rather than Latin.

Music and conversation from the spiritual side of life. The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned vicars against filling their sermons with "moral claptrap" so we ask if believers are really willing to "get their hands dirty"? In the week England's first female bishop was consecrated, Charles talks to the Bishop of Oxford who had a front row seat, and there's a double celebration. A restoration programme for the church of St James the Apostle is completed in Somerton, and in Childrey it's 500 years since what's believed to be the earliest record in the country of children being taught "in English" rather than Latin.
