Scapegoating, Peacemaking Reimagined, Sabbatical Reset
Everyday EthicsAvailable for over a year
In the aftermath of last weeks riots, where are the stories of hope and resilience? Audrey talks to Tim Magowan from the Duncairn Centre and Maureen Hamblin, who has lived here for 26 years, about how she felt being scapegoated for the colour of her skin. Our main discussion asks whether we need a new kind of peace-making process in Northern Ireland – one that moves beyond Protestant/Catholic reconciliation to embrace the new Northern Ireland. Audrey is joined by Michael Gibbs, Father Martin McGill and Dr Gladys Ganiel. And, resetting your body. Husband and wife Susan and Chris Bennet both received a diagnosis of MS in the same week. They tell Audrey how that affected their faith, their marriage and how taking a campervan around Europe for year helped them to reset both physically and spiritually.
