The Leap of Faith Friday 16 October 2020
Join Michael Comyn for The Leap of Faith. A programme for people of many faiths and none.
On the programme tonight, our panel discuss: would you vote or not vote for someone because of their faith and religious beliefs? Should the individual religious beliefs of a candidate sway voters or influence their decisions? Labour Senator Ivana Bacik, Leader of Aontú, Peadar Tóibín TD and Professor Robert Schmuhl of Notre Dame University, share their views.

In a programme for people of all faiths and none, Michael talks with those whose life experiences cause them to call on their beliefs, as he seeks to discover what religion does for people - and occasionally to them.
With regular updates from across the world’s faiths and from those that hold them, this is a thought-provoking 30 minutes of radio.
