BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, Peace campaigner Arun Gandhi

Two hours of music and conversation with a faith and ethical perspective.

Two hours of music and conversation with a faith and ethical perspective, including an interview with peace campaigner Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi.

Sally talks to acclaimed peace campaigner Arun Gandhi, who has brought together some of the advice his grandfather Mahatma Gandhi gave him as a child in his book The Gift of Anger.

In May this year an invitation to address the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland fell through dramatically at the eleventh hour for Reverend Rola Sleiman, the first female pastor in the Christian Arab world. She was refused boarding at Beirut airport but four months later she's finally arrived and joins Sally. 

This summer has seen a series of natural disasters around the world, yet it's rarely the scale of the disaster that determines how much news coverage it gets. To discuss what the factors are that decide the news agenda is Simon Barrow of the beliefs and ethics think-tank Ekklesia and Peter Geoghegan, journalist and lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland.

East Ayrshire is preparing to lift the rafters with music as the Cumnock Tryst gets underway. Festival founder composer Sir James MacMillan tells Sally why he's brought the Westminster Cathedral Choir to the church of his baptism and childhood, St John's Church in Cumnock.

In our second report about the traveller community in Scotland, sisters Meg and Bernadette Williamson, along with poet Jess Smith, visit a site known as the Tinkers' Heart, the only physical monument to the traveller community in Scotland. 

Those who tell the stories run the world; if you want to change the world, then you need to tell a more powerful story. So argues political activist George Monbiot in discussion about his latest book Out of the Wreckage: A New Politics for an Age of Crisis.
