Episode 5
Abortion and Euthanasia
I suppose this podcast (episode 5) should really have been entitled "the theology of life".
For the first time we had real difficulty in getting a guest to speak on either subject - it is so emotive and so polarizing that folk just didn't want to commit to one view or another.
Roderick and I are not so bashful and in this podcast we discuss in some depth how abortion and euthanasia have spiritual echoes.
Its also one of these issues where I can bet we will get a bunch of opinion via email (theologybits@me.com) or on our blog.
Enjoy the chat; we came to the conclusion that the metaphysical is affected by the physical realm in the same fashion as the methaphysical affects the physical.
You'll find no judgement in this podcast only compassion and understanding and - as ever - theology bits!

Episode 6
Suffering
In this episode Roderick and Iain welcome special guest Ron Lavelette to discuss the problem of pain and the difficulties we encounter coming to terms with suffering.
We touch on the tragic joint suicide pact of two young girls in the local news and look for meaning in what can seem meaningless and arbitrary.
Is suffering good for the soul? Is there ever any "good" in suffering?
Or is suffering, community and communication?
