Clare Balding launches Faith in the World Week 2017, asking the question "Who are our neighbours in the 21st century"?

Clare Balding launches this year's Faith in the World Week asking the question "Who are our neighbours in the 21st century?" Neighbourhoods are no longer defined just by the streets or towns in which we live. Today's social networks enable people to communicate with others living in other countries, perhaps thousands of miles away. How do we set about strengthening our local areas to create stronger and more resilient communities? Her guests include contributions from presenter Nick Knowles (Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ1's "The Big Build") and actor Eleanor Martin whose workshops in Luton help to bring diverse communities together. Clare's faith guest is Pastor Mimi who has helped changed her neighbourhood by organising a series of events which bring people together rather than drives them apart.
