Sexuality

Sex and religion, uncomfortable bedfellows or close companions? Different religions seem to find it hard to agree. For most world religions, it is possible to find contained within each a whole spectrum of conflicting beliefs about sex and desire; from ardent rejections of queer sexuality, to whole-hearted embraces of the LGBTQ+ love. With all this disagreement and tension, we might ultimately be left wondering, what’s faith got to do with our sex lives and romantic connections? In this episode Holly Morse talks to three incredible people from different faiths about the major challenges but also the powerful joys of LGBTQ+ experiences of faith and religion. 1’45 Revd Sarah Hildreth-Osborn - Rector of St Grwst Church 14’50 Ibtisam Ahmed - Head of Policy and Research at the LGBT Foundation29.30 Benji Park - Fashion Blogger<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Free Will

In today’s modern, globalised world, our fast-paced lives can often feel overwhelmed by choice. But are we ever truly free to shape our own future? Do we all have the same liberty to determine the direction of our lives? Or are our decisions already always shaped for us, by our biological make-up, or our psychological states, or even by a divine plan? In this podcast Dr Holly Morse speaks to three amazing people from different faiths about their extraordinary lives, and the ways the events and experiences they have been through have shaped the how they understand free will. 2’45 Pastor Mick - founder of Church on the Street15’54 Rehena Harilall - Buddhist activist and psychologist.30’17 Rabba Dr Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz - Orthodox Rabbi Content warning: The following podcast contains themes of suicide and drug use.

Artificial Intelligence

For many of us our daily lives are shaped by our interactions with technology, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep – and perhaps even while we sleep! From playing our favourite songs, or asking about the weather, to navigating our way around towns, cities or the countryside, if we’re stuck for an answer many of us rely on Artifical Intelligence (AI) assistants like Siri or Alexa to help us out. But are our lives now becoming so controlled by technology that it is beginning to change our understanding of humanity? In this episode, Holly Morse chats to people who live and work in the world of AI and what this means for their understanding of religion in a range of different faith traditions. 2’45 Tim Foley - Writer of Electric Rosary and regular contributor to Dr Who audio drama.11’53 Thomas Arnold - Research Associate in the Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory, at Tufts University.21’10 Lior Cole - Designer of Robo Rabbi, Cornell University Student and Fashion Model.28’24 Yaqub Chaudhary - Research Fellow in AI, Philosophy and Theology at Cambridge Muslim College in Cambridge.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
