This week on Down the Line the topic for discussion is Religion and in particular the decline in Anglican congregations and we welcome your emails and messageboard comments.

Gary's view

I've been dismayed at suggestions that some of the calls on last week's show about freedom of speech may have been hoax calls. My producer, Matt Weston, and I are determined to stamp out this behaviour. I am a serious broadcast journalist and a winner of three prestigious Molsen awards in Canada. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you think you know who any of these jokers might be. Thanks
