BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, with Tony Kearney

Journalist Ruth Wishart on faith and politics; writer Merryn Glover on Nan Shepherd.

Two hours of music and conversation with a faith and ethical perspective. Taking the week's events to ask what they say about our values and beliefs.

An innovative care village in the Scottish Borders could herald a new model of community care. Jake Vollrath, from Newton Dee Camphill Community in Aberdeen, and Dr Martin Quirke from the University of Stirling's Dementia Services Development Centre, discuss how it could make us rethink how we shape future caring strategies.

Change Mental Health, formerly Support in Mind, a leading Scottish mental health charity recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Reporter Bob Dickson looks back at the organisation's history.

A new film, Blue Jean, tells the story of a lesbian PE teacher in England in the late 1980s, against the backdrop of Section 28, which prohibited the promotion of homosexuality in schools. Jim Whannel, a former headteacher who was active in the repeal in Scotland, and writer Kirsty Logan, who was at school and came out as bisexual at the time Section 28 was overturned, join Tony to discuss the issues the film raises.

With the faith and politics debate overshadowing the SNP leadership race, Simon Barrow, Director of Ekklesia; Nick Spencer, Senior Fellow at the Theos thinktank, and journalist Ruth Wishart, discuss how leaders can balance their politics with personal belief. 

It feels like the whole world is now online, so what does it feel like to be digitally excluded?  Erica Judge, who works for Inspiring Scotland and offers charities support with fundraising; and manager Iain Couper of ACE IT a charity that supports individuals over 50 to become more digitally capable, discuss the impact for those without the financial means or the online skills.

Author and adventurer Nan Shepherd is considered one of the great nature writers.  Elise Wortley, who recreated some of Nan's treks in the Cairngorms, and writer Merryn Glover discuss her legacy.
