BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, Ricky in conversation with writer Jenni Fagan

Writer Jenni Fagan, ethical finance and the feminine in God.

Ricky talks to writer Jenni Fagan about her childhood in care and the power of writing. The programme also hears about a new multi-faith approach to ethical investment.

Jenni Fagan joins Ricky Ross to talk about her life, her writing career, studying for a PhD and how a childhood growing up in care informed her award winning debut novel, The Panopticon.

Ahead of International Women's Day and the Oscars, Jenni Fagan and writer Cat Stewart discuss global movements like #MeToo and 'Times Up', and look at ways in which we can achieve a more equal future.

A game changing initiative that provides an ethical alternative to capitalism is likely to be launched in Scotland this year. Martin Palmer of ARC (Alliance of Religions and Conservation), Omar Shaikh of the Islamic Finance Council UK, and practical theologian Alison Phipps, tell us more about the Faith-Consistent Investment Alliance and why we need it. 

Exploring the idea of the Divine Feminine, how it's reflected in faith traditions, and where it appears in our everyday lives, are religious historian Martin Palmer and a member of the Iona community Alison Phipps. 

A new body of sacred music is being unveiled at the TheoArtistry Festival in St Andrews. The compositions which are collaborations between young theologians and composers are themed around divine encounters in The Bible. Ricky chats to composer Kerensa Briggs and theologian Rebekah Dyer.
