This is an expanded version of a report presented by the author to the General Synod of the Church of England in November 1999.
No one, not even the BBC, disputes Mr. Holmes's contention that during the ten years 1988-98 the total output of BBC 1 & 2 increased by over half, while religious programming fell by over one third. Much the same kind of reduction is seen in BBC radio and in the independent networks.
