With Cathy Macdonald
Bishop David Chillingworth and Dr Yahya Barry reflect on current times including Ramadan, the concept of when enough is enough and a review of 成人快手4鈥檚 Novels That Shaped The World
To reflect the times we are living in, Cathy MacDonald with the help of her guests Bishop David Chillingworth of the Scottish Episcopal Church, and Dr Yahya Barry founder and director of The Olive Tree Madrasah, navigate through some of the issues facing us.
That we are in this new living arrangement for the long haul isn鈥檛 perhaps a surprise but it鈥檚 maybe a good time to examine some elements of character which will help us through, such as patience and resilience.
Dr Yahya Barry explores how these values are of particular importance during the month of Ramadan, and the challenges facing Muslims at this time.
Buddhist nun, Kelsang Machig, reflects on our dependence on consumerism and asks if we鈥檝e reached a point now where we can say - we have enough.
Linda Woodhead, Professor of Religion and Society at Lancaster University believes that the NHS could be replacing the role of the church in society. She joins our guests to discuss if our NHS is our new moral compass.
One change many of us will have to get used to is not being able to travel. We鈥檝e taken cheap flights, weekend city breaks, visiting family overseas a bit for granted. As airlines face an uncertain future, and the pandemic continues its hold across the world, will we take to the skies again?
If you鈥檝e found yourself watching more TV than usual we have a review of 成人快手4鈥檚 Novels That Shaped The World coming up as writer and performer Hannah Lavery joins. So don鈥檛 to feel guilty about watching that one, it鈥檚 about books too!
