Sunday Sequence, February 28th 2016

Tim Townsend was a reporter on the St Louis Post-Dispatch when he spotted, in an exhibition about WW2 - a letter to a Missouri housewife signed by 21 Nazi War criminals. They wanted her to allow her husband, Pastor Henry Gerecke, assigned chaplain at the Nuremberg trials, to stay with them until the end. Tim has now published the extraordinary and gripping story of Henry Gerecke and his fellow chaplain at Nuremberg, Fr Sixtus O'Connor. We talk to Tim about his book Mission at Nuremberg and the moral dilemmas faced by the chaplains to the creators of the Holocaust.

Also on the programme - what the Irish elections results tell us about society and church influence; gender equality; homelessness and sleeping rough - how big is the problem and is there an answer? And how the rap generation gets into choral singing.
