In this episode, Giles & Julia reflect on Giles' interview with Chick Yuill, author of ‘Joy Comes in the Morning’.

‘Joy Comes in the Morning: Lizzie Lowe and the Story of the Church that Changed’ follows the ten-year journey of St James and Emmanuel Church in Didsbury from the tragic death of fourteen-year-old Lizzie Lowe, who took her own life in 2014, through the grief and shock that set the church community on a path of deep change to full inclusion for people whatever their sexuality. The book has been written with full involvement of Lizzie’s parents, Kevin and Hilary Lowe, and Bishop Nick Bundock who was rector of St James and Emmanuel through these times of tragedy and transformation.

in 2014, a girl tragically took her own life, and the impact it had on her church was wildly unexpected. My friend Chick has written a book about it, and I think the story is so important I wanted to help him get the word out. The book launch is tomorrow and keep an eye out for my interview with Chick which will drop in the next few days.

John Bell leads an evening of reflection and discussion.

Our 99th episode has dropped! Today, we're looking at Pluribus, the cosy, post-apocalyptic sci-fi series created by Vince Gilligan. We’ll be looking in-depth at the flaws in utilitarianism, as well as the importance of free will and the occasional demon possession. Giles & Julia are joined by writer and R.S teacher Natalie Minaker who talks about how Pluribus gave her something of a crisis of faith in her principles and teaches us about John Stuart Mill.

Finding the Faith in the Film starts at 8:28.
