Flames and Forgiveness
A year after arson destroyed a Church of Ireland parish church in Greenisland, we explore the concept of forgiveness.
A year after arson destroyed the Church of Ireland in Greenisland, we explore the concept of forgiveness. Audrey talks to Rev Izzy Hawthorne-Steele and Rev Chris Bennet about why the church decided not to prosecute the young people who set the fire but entered into a year-long restorative justice programme with them. Audrey also talks to Carl Stauffer from the US Institute of Peace about how restorative justice works around the world.
A group called Troubled Presbyterians have been critiquing the leadership of PCI claiming that a culture of fear and mismanagement is rife within the organisation. Audrey talks to journalist Angela Davidson about the accusations and the dossier that Lord Alderdice has sent to the charity commission. And Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch tells Audrey about his latest book charting the history of sexuality in Christianity.
