Encounter 7pm, Radio National: Stairway to heaven or just a walk up the hill to King Street? St James Anglican Church in Queens Square - up there among the wigs and gowns - is Sydney's oldest church building. I went there once for a funeral. Consecrated in 1824, its choir is regarded as one of Australia's finest. Geoff Wood drops in on his Lambretta to attend vespers and to take a look behind the scenes. What intrigues have been worn into the polished wooden stalls over the decades? In The Ark at 8.35pm, the biblical scholar John Dickson winnows fact from fiction in search of Jesus.
