Speaking in Tongues, Ariana Grande, West Bank, Lough Derg

Available for 29 days

Speaking in tongues. Is it a controversial thing to do? A gift from God? To explore where it comes from, and what relevance it has today, Audrey is joined by Pastor John Ashe, from the Journey community church (he can speak in tongues) and by theologian Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick (who can't). In a week when the BBC have reported about Palestinians whose homes in the occupied West Bank have been besieged for days by Israeli settlers, we speak to Ori Givati, a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces, who once served in the West Bank and now works for an Israeli human rights group called B'Tselem, a partner organisation of the aid agency Trócaire. In light of singer Ariana Grande announcing that she would be taking a 'step back from visibility' in light of continued scrutiny of her appearance, former showbiz journalist and commentator Tina Calder and psychologist Dr Stella O'Malley discuss whether in this climate of body positivity there is a moral duty to speak up when someone appears dangerously unwell. Would you like a three day, no mobile, no shoes, one daily meal pilgrimage on an island? Two guests who between them have completed the Lough Derg pilgrimage 15 times explain why they keep going back.
