with Cathy MacDonald
Ann Ming shares how her fight for justice changed British law, and 90s teen pop star Kavana tells Cathy about his experience of grief, sobriety and the strength he finds in faith.
This week on Sunday Morning with Cathy MacDonald, we explore the living funeral, a tradition where a life is celebrated while the person is still present. We hear from Humanist celebrant Tim Maguire, who last summer led one in Edinburgh for photographer Faye Yerbury, who was facing a terminal illness.
Ann Ming’s fight for justice changed British law, and her story is now being told in STV’s drama ‘I Fought the Law’. We hear from Ann about the campaign that began after her daughter’s killer walked free and how this led to the changing of British Law.
90s pop star Kavana, who rose to fame with hit ‘I Can Make You Feel Good,’ has lived through fame, addiction, and struggles with identity. He joins us to talk about grief, sobriety and the strength he finds in faith.
This week’s faith forum features Islamic scholar Yahya Barry, Christian environmental scientist Laura Young, and Aman De Sondy, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College Cork.
Among the topics under discussion is the legal trade of human body parts in the U.S., exploring what it says about dignity, consent, and the sanctity of the human body.
Channel 4’s new gameshow The Inheritance turns legacy into a competition, prompting the panel to reflect on the value of what we pass on after death.
And the panel share their own small acts of love as a new play of the same name prepares to open at Glasgow’s Citizen’s theatre.
