With Cathy Macdonald
A new documentary series examining Mother Teresa's legacy; the Buddhist festival of Vesak; a conversation with former Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu.
Dr John Sentamu, former Archbishop of York, joins Cathy to talk about his early life in Uganda under the dictatorship of Idi Amin, as well as his current role as Chair of the charity Christian Aid.
Every year since 1973 a book sale in Edinburgh has been growing in reputation and raised millions of pounds. Reporter Bob Dickson joins the crowds at the Christian Aid book sale to explore its enduring appeal.
A new 3 part documentary series about Mother Teresa explores both her achievements and her controversies. Cathy talks to Ian Dunn of the Scottish Catholic magazine about whether this will change our view of the woman who was made a saint by Pope Francis.
The casting of Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor Who presents a different version of masculinity from previous actors. With such a high profile casting, is the public discussion around masculinity getting broader? Men鈥檚 group facilitator Dave Bingham, who works with men鈥檚 support circles, and Aman de Sondy, senior lecturer at University College Cork, discuss if this is a moment of redefinition for our ideas of masculinity.
Tomorrow is one of the most important festivals in the Buddhist calendar. Vesak, or simply 鈥淏uddha Day鈥, commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. Cathy talks to Ani Rinchen Khandro, from the Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist meditation centre in Leith, and Dr Halle O鈥橬eal, co-director of the Edinburgh Buddhist Studies network to find out more.
There鈥檚 another of your Scottish Stories, this week from Paul Nicol talking about his grandparents.
Rev Muriel Pearson, newly appointed Associate Minister of St Andrew's Jerusalem and Tiberias Church of Scotland talks about her new post, and how an art installation at COP26 will inspire her work going forward in Jerusalem.
