Lockdown Podcast Extra – April 2020

Well, hello, faithful listener … We’re keeping calm and carrying on, podcasting from our homes during Coronavirus lockdown, and we hope that you are all staying safe and well.

This podcast extra is a version of the ‘Heaven and Hell’ checkup that we do with our presenters every month – just how the hell are we?? And how the hell are you? Can there be glimpses of heaven in these time of global pandemic? Perhaps there’s an opportunity now to cast off some delusions, rethink the nature of belonging and community? Is it the Lenten reminder, writ large, that we are all mortal. Big questions, small voice …

Recorded on Thursday 2 April 2020. Duration: 20’10 minutes

Theme music by Nicolai Heidlas

Thank you for taking the time and making this podcast. I found echoes of thoughts I have been exploring for almost a decade since being rudely confronted with my own mortality in a way I would never have wished on anyone.

It’s a strange time for ministers and faith leaders as we try to negotiate uncharted territory, or to plagiarise a book title, to ‘canoe the mountains’.

Back in my industry days, my boss used to say, ‘it’s all about people’ and it is.

Thank you for being the people you are, for canoeing your own mountains, and for being a small voice in this time.

Many thanks Catriona. It always means a lot to us to know that our faithful listeners are out there, and it means more than ever right now. All the best for this Holy Week.
