Equal before God: Reconciling feminism with faith

In this special edition, we take a look at those who refuse to believe feminism is incompatible with religious beliefs. Facing a shortage of Roman Catholic priests, women churchgoers step in to lead church services in Portugal. Also we ask Delphine Horvilleur, one of France’s three female rabbis, whether the bible can be used to promote equality. Plus how in Egypt, a growing radicalisation problem has led the government to turn to women preachers to change hearts and minds.
