BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, Ricky Ross in conversation with campaigning priest Father Willy Slavin

Father Willy Slavin, gun control and the tyranny of lists.

Ricky Ross meets campaigning priest Father Willy Slavin, discusses gun control with three young Americans and reflects on life and death with Richard Holloway.

Ricky takes to the woods to talk to Father Willy Slavin, who after a lifetime championing the cause of the poor around the world from the backstreets of Bangladesh to his native Glasgow, has given up all his worldly possessions and moved to a hut in the middle of Fife.

The sculpture of the Homeless Jesus sits behind St George's Church in Glasgow and depicts a shrouded figure sleeping on a bench. But does it serve a purpose? Bobby Seiler reports on the impact it's making on the people of Glasgow.

After the school shooting in Florida many young people have been protesting to press lawmakers to take more action on gun control. Ricky speaks to 3 young Americans living in Scotland. Briana Pegado is from Washington DC and now lives in Edinburgh, Julia Hegele grew up in Colorado and is currently studying at the University of Glasgow; and University of St Andrews student Kat Lawlor, grew up in Eastern Washington State.

The American evangelist Billy Graham died last week aged 99. For some, Graham's evangelical zeal prompted short term conversion, for others a lifelong commitment. Kieran Turner of Evangelical Alliance Scotland was eight when he first attended a Graham event in 1991 in Scotland . It went on to have a profound effect on the rest of his life.

Do you make lists? Are they an essential tool to keep your life in order? Or do they just pile on more pressure ? Author Lulah Ellender's latest book is based on her late grandmother's book of lists, and she talks to Ricky about what they can reveal about us.

Ricky speaks to author and broadcaster Richard Holloway about his new book 'Waiting for the Last Bus - Reflections on Life and Death', an eloquent exploration of our relationship with the idea of death and of living.
