Mark Stephen hears from yoga teacher David Sye about how yoga saved his life.

Mark Stephen hears from yoga teacher David Sye about how yoga saved his life and how he has used it to build bridges between divided communities.

Singing is in yoga teacher David Sye's genes - he is the son of legendary 60's entertainer Frankie Vaughan. He tells Mark how yoga saved his life, and how he has used it to build bridges between divided communities.

Professor John Swinton from Aberdeen University talks about the Templeton Prize winner, theologian and founder of L'Arche, Jean Vanier.

Do you remember playing 'Cowboys and Indians' as a child? Many of the toys and games we played reinforced stereotypes that were sexist, or racist or overtly militaristic, but given that play is such an important aspect of a child's development, where's the line to be drawn between political correctness and a child learning to freely explore their own boundaries and world through toys and play? Catherine Simpson and Rev Owain Jones discuss.

A new interactive text adventure Syrian Journey on the BBC news website is set in the humanitarian crisis in Syria. The idea is to get people to understand some of the decisions that refugees fleeing the country have had to face. Dr. Muhammad Idrees Ahmad, Lecturer in Digital Journalism at the University of Stirling, and Rev Owain Jones who have tried it out, explain how effective a tool it is in humanising the crisis.

Elizabeth Quigley reports on 'WEvolution' - a system of self-help groups pioneered in India which is giving hope to women in the poorest parts of Glasgow.

And eminent church historian Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch joins Mark to talk about his new BBC television series, Sex and the Church, which explores how Christianity's obsession with sex has helped shape western attitudes to sex, gender and sexuality throughout history.
