Dr Caroline Farey, a member of the Pontifical Commission for the study of the female diaconate joins Fr Toby to speak about the theological and historical studies into the female diaconate and answer your questions.

QUESTIONS OF FAITH is a programme in which listeners call in and ask our guests a theological, biblical or pastoral question - anything related to the faith, in other words. We usually have a priest, religious brother or sister or lay evangelist on and the programme airs live on Fridays at 11:15am.

It is only through the ongoing support of our listeners that we continue to be a Christian voice by your side.
