BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 16/07/2017

Celebrated Scottish poet Aonghas MacNeacail on language, religion and identity.

Scottish poet Aonghas MacNeacail on language, religion and identity, the lasting impact of shame on individuals and transcending this world to encounter the divine.

One of Scotland's most celebrated and admired poets, Aonghas MacNeacail, speaks to Cathy Macdonald about language, religion and identity. 

'Sunday Morning with' reporter Bob Dickson visits a church in Ayrshire that is providing free packed lunches to children in need over the summer school holidays. 

Fat-shaming and revenge-porn are just a couple of the modern platforms given to the age-old and painful emotion of shame. Cathy looks at the dangers of normalising shame and what it can do to communities and individuals, with Luke Devlin, Executive Director of the Centre for Human Ecology, and Verene Nicolas, community organiser and a conflict resolution trainer. 

Following the Brexit vote, German born Claudia Zeiske has been thinking about what home means, which has spurred her on a modern secular pilgrimage from her home in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, to her ancestral home outside Munich. Cathy catches up with her on her journey, and also talks about traditional religious pilgrimages with Luke Devlin. 

And for thousands of years people have been trying to transcend this world to encounter a higher being or the divine through religious rituals - Luke Devlin and Dr Neil Douglas-Klotz, scholar in religious studies, reflect on why we're still doing it and what it gives us.
