The Interdependent Web of Life
In our December episode, Kevin Watson is joined by Moira Gage, Graham Gage and Alison Thursfield to explore how the lovely idea of the interdependent web of life can be lived in the world. Chloe Arnold, a Law student at Oxford Brookes University, tells us about her time volunteering with Amicus, working against the death penalty in the United States and a Christmas kitten appropriately undermines the sentimentality of Christmas.

After Church Coffee Episode 2
In this episode we ask why we bother with worship. We hear a variety of perspectives on what the perfect place of worship might look like, including plans for lush gardens, stained-glass windows with question marks and a Quaker Corner next to Greenham Common and we celebrate the things that inspire us about November - the last leaves of autumn, the more reflective winter days and central heating!
