Songs of Praise to change format
Posted: 16 Nov 2014, 09:32The BBC's flagship worship show, Songs of Praise, is updating its programme as part of a relaunch.
From Sunday it will drop its traditional format of an Anglican service recorded in a cathedral, parish, or other church.
Each edition will now feature a range of churches, locations, congregations, and choirs.
The BBC's head of religion and ethics, Aaqil Ahmed, said a "different form of Christianity" had emerged in the UK.
The show will also change to a magazine format that reflects what the programme describes as the reality of Christian faith across the country.
