Gay pride events across the country this summer are marking the half-century since homosexuality stopped being a crime. But that anniversary reflects a far wider change of attitudes. Those 50 years have seen a radically different landscape being shaped on a range of moral and ethical issues.

For most of that time, the British Social Attitudes survey has tracked shifts in public opinion. Its latest report summarises views on everything from tax evasion and benefit fraud to civil liberties, immigration, and what are classed as 'moral issues: sex, gender and euthanasia'.

Today Roy Jenkins explores how attitudes have changed, and where they might be heading, and asks what place is left for the religious bodies once looked to for a lead in the area of morality.

Joining Roy are:

Roger Harding, the author of that most recent study and Head of Public Attitudes at the social research organisation NatCen.

Dr Tristan Nash, senior lecturer in philosophy at University of Wales Trinity St.David.

Rev Carol Wardman, bishops' adviser for church and society for the Church in Wales.

Jim Stewart, public affairs and advocacy officer for Evangelical Alliance Wales.
