Well anyone who works there i guess for a start. But you say ther is no PC in the ABC - i think the audience recognise that most attendees support the post modern view that values are subjective and therefore defining the nature of good and evil ,is if not out, a place you don't go. But by not stating a position, you state a position . Hence the PC element and the intellectual and doubt difficulty with the youngens world view thats not quite working as well as its supposed to !
You don't have to believe everything that's said there of course , but if you work there, you learn one thing - you don't easily raise questions which challenge clear doctrine like that above .
unless you ask those "questions" in a certain exacting way where they can be given a predictable and set answer.
Don't dare ask a really wild question like "why are so many pagans and atheists sending there kids to religious schools - or what is about islam that is so attractive?" Instead we get " what do you think about people coming into schools to preach ? All hands are raised in gloriuos chorus of agreement Not a doubt surfaces in abcchurch because of the way the questions are put ! Doubts then are dismissed by a few words rather than real dialogue something that's rare at the ABC at least on 774 and TV -------and could make it so much greater.
Australian Broadcasting Culture,and the ABC in particular, is too important to leave to some consensus amongst those inside about their favourite hymns and doctrines. Feel like an outsider when you don't take the current ABC worldview as a given - not on this site !

All other types of church people are extremists
Don't talk about some things ! Could create division and reduce simplicity . Compass and religious affairs finally start talking about what is happening in middle ground churches- the biggest community event EACH WEEK for centuries and when have you ever seen it on TV till FAMILY FIRST and vicar of dibley arrived ! .
