Forgiveness, Transubstantiation, Lebanon

Sunday Sequence

Available for 29 days

As a 10 year old coming home from school one day in Creggan in 1972, Richard Moore was shot by a soldier who fired a rubber bullet. He was blinded in one eye, and lost his other one. Years later he met that soldier and forgave him. Audrey talks to Richard along with poet and playwright Damien Gorman, who is the new head of peacebuilding with Richard’s charity Children in Crossfire. Transubstantiation has divided Christians for centuries but what is it and why do Protestants not believe it? Theologians Dr Tina Beattie and Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick give us a guide. And the untold story of Lebanon where 1.2 million people have been displaced by war in the Middle East. Audrey talks to Safa Hijazeen, the Middle East director for the development and relief organisation Tearfund.
