William Crawley presents from Belfast exploring forgiveness, poverty and Easter.

In a special Easter programme from Belfast, William meets Baroness May Blood asking how Northern Ireland has changed since the signing of the Good Friday agreement. Bishop Harold Miller of the Church of Ireland has said the absence of the Church in the plan for the future of Northern Ireland is "regrettable". And we explore the rise of Islam in Belfast. Also as the Church of England launches a twitter campaign #EasterMeans, Kevin Bocquet asks What is the meaning of Easter? Senior Liberal Democrat MP, Simon Hughes, just back from Ukraine tells William about his meeting with Church leaders. As new figures released by the Trussell Trust demonstrate the extent of food poverty in the UK William asks what that means for the people of Northern Ireland with Rev Kevin Graham from the Church of Ireland and Cormac Wilson - Regional Senior Vice President, Society of St Vincent de Paul. Two victims of the troubles Jude Whyte and Ann Travers debate on how best to deal with the past in Northern Ireland.
