Comedian Reginald D Hunter and highlights of General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Stand-up comedian Reginald D Hunter, topics discussed at this year's General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and a performance inspired by love and loss.

Reginald D Hunter, one of the country’s best known stand-ups and Edinburgh Festival regular, speaks to Cathy Macdonald about twenty years in comedy and moving from America’s Deep South to his current home in London.

Millions of Muslims around the world are currently observing Ramadan, fasting from sunrise to sunset. Reporter Carol Purcell decided to get a little insight by observing it for a week, keeping an audio diary and talking to people along the way. 

Investment in fossil fuel, persecution of Christians around the world, and structural changes to the church were just some of the issues discussed at this year’s General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Reverend Mike Goss, Minister of Barry with Carnoustie Churches, Reverend Jane Howitt, Minister of St. Rollox Church of Scotland in Glasgow, and Reverend Dr Doug Gay from the University of Glasgow guide Cathy through the highlights. 

Mary Cullen, editor of Open House, explains why she has organised a conference by Catholic laity which aims to start a conversation on the way forward for the Catholic Church in Scotland. 

And performance maker and choreographer Luke Pell explains how conversations he had with members of the public turned into dance and poetry for his project ‘In the Ink Dark’.
