Church Loan Scandal, Religious Vote, Ebola Bishop

Edward Stourton brings you news and analysis of the religious, moral and ethical stories of the week.

A London Church is under investigation for alleged fraud and financial irregularities after church goers claimed they were persuaded to take out large loans. The Sunday programme reports on claims and puts the claims to a representative of the church.

Sima Kotecha reports on how religious voting "banks" could influence this year’s general election.

And we hear from the Bishop of Hertford, Michael Beasley, a former epidemiologist at Imperial College London, who has been to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the world's second largest Ebola outbreak continues. He's joined by the United Nations Ebola Emergency Response Coordinator, David Gressly, to talk about the key role Churches are playing in the fight against the disease.
