Patience

BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Patience

Keep calm and stay listening, as Roy Jenkins looks at this much tested virtue.

In these difficult times, Roy Jenkins presents startling and humbling stories of people whose patience has been tested to extremes.

Waiting at shops, waiting for a vaccine, grappling with changing rules... we're often reminded these days  that 'patience is a virtue'. But how important a virtue is it? Roy Jenkins talks to some people whose patience has been tested to extremes, and who have all managed to overcome their natural impatience. Rev'd Shirley Murphy has patiently put up with racism, whilst Rev'd Zoe Heming has had to bear chronic pain. Special needs teacher Myra Harris talks about the patience required in her job of teaching young autistic and non-verbal children, (not to mention teaching piano to young students!) whilst theologian Paul Dafydd Jones has become so fascinated by the various uses, and misuses of the term in Christian theology, that he's writing a two-volume work on the subject.
