<Li> No link: this is usually done when the contributor picks a topic that is already directly spiritual or religious in nature . </Li> <P> Some Thought for the Day contributions can be more explicitly evangelistic while others are more personal, and others have been positively inter-religious with contributors praising faiths different from their own . Leslie Griffiths, a Christian contributor to the programme described his view of the role of faith in contributing to Thought for the Day as follows: "I'm a Christian and the essence of my Christianity gives me the angle from which I want to reflect, but it is the lens rather than the subject itself . I don't want to talk about Christianity, I want as a Christian to talk about the news". </P> <P> Thought for the Day has included both traditionalist and more radical voices, and at times the clerics selected to present in the slot have gone beyond providing spiritual instruction into directly criticising government policy and other social issues . </P> <P> In 1971, the Methodist minister Colin Morris attacked an immigration bill put forward by the government of Ted Heath, arguing that the bill would have denied entry into Britain for not only Saints David, Andrew and George, but Jesus . This led politicians into a public debate about the advisability of the broadcast, and questions were asked in the House of Lords . The BBC dropped Morris from the list of contributors for a few months following the debate . </P>
