The Hours

At sunset today as Christians complete their Vespers, Islam's special day for prayer ends. Hinduism sees evening as a time of ignorance, and the Jewish Sabbath is beginning. We now hear followers of those faiths observing in their regular devotions the cycles of sun and moon and calendar, reflecting also on how their different traditions understand the relationship between worship, faith and and time.

Night Waves

The Hours

Paul Allen and guests discuss the impact of Eastern thought on Western thinking about religion and spirituality.

We have become familiar with the images and many of the rituals of Eastern religion but how seriously have we taken on board their philosophies and ways of living? As satisfaction in the materialistic life and the traditional Western church continues to dwindle, Paul and his guests, including Keith Ward and Martin Palmer, discuss the nation's spiritual direction as we look East for new inspiration.
