Author and hospice counsellor Duncan MacLaren joins Zara to discuss All Is Not Loss - The Spirituality of Grief, a new book that reimagines grief. Zara chats with Ullapool musician Anne Wood live from Pakistan. Her new project, When Mountains Meet: Highlands to Hunza, follows the success of her Scottish-Pakistani theatre show and sees her collaborating with musicians across borders to create music that bridges two cultures. And former pop star, broadcaster, priest, and now bestselling crime novelist, the Reverend Richard Coles reflects on a life shaped by grief, faith, and creativity - and tells Zara about his latest book series Canon Clement being adapted for TV. Zara’s Faith Forum panellists are theologian Dr Eve Poole, writer & policy advocate Ravi Ladva, and Father Philip Blackledge, Rector of Holy Trinity, Melrose. The Gaza ceasefire has held for just over a week, but tensions remain and peace is still fragile. But peace isn’t just about diplomacy, it’s something we all work at in everyday life. So, what makes it so fragile, and what helps it last? Apocalyptic thinking enters the mainstream, as tech billionaire Peter Thiel warns of the rise of the Antichrist. What do such ideas reveal about our fears, politics, and where we place our faith? In the new film Good Fortune, Keanu Reeves plays an angel who intervenes in a man’s life - without being asked. We explore the ethics of helping: when is stepping in welcome, and when does it cross a line?
