Talking Faith: two priests in the Scottish Borders talk about faith, doubt, and God

Reaction Video - What happens when your bible has more pages in it that you think...
In this reaction video (the sound quality is very poor, our apologies, it was recorded outside on microphones not fit for purpose) we listen to a very squirmy incident where a certain new convert finds that biblical knowledge is not quite as encyclopedic as he thought... If you have anything you would like us to react to, email us at talkingthefaith@gmail.com
Your church was the least attractive...
In this episode of Talking Faith, we discuss why people who believe in God don't go to church, and why sometimes dull churches might end up being hte right place for someone.
Our second music reaction video- this time it's Lesley's turn to choose the choones
Got something you want us to listen to? Email us on talkingthefaith @gmail.com We have very very different tastes in music, so this is our opportunity of sharing things we like with each other. This video is from Lesley and to say more than that will steal some of the joy that it brings... Here's the original - and see if you are not singing along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-CCxYR80mU
Josquin Des Prez - no realation to Jaqueline.
Our latest reaction video features one of Pip's choices - which will be immediately apparent when we learn that the composer died over five hundred years ago. The phrase used of Josquin Des Prez by Martin Luther was "Other composers must do as the notes will. Josquin is the master of the notes and they do as he wills". Amazing stuff.
Why on earth did you want to be a priest?
We tell our stories - how it was that one of us (Lesley) stopped looking at cow ovaries for a living, and why the other (Pip) stopped trying to be a professional singer, and instead became the mundane, ordinary people you see before you...
Is it an ArchBishop? Is it a Stove? No, it's a Primus.
This week, hotfoot from General Synod, Pip interviews the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, Mark Strange. Mark speaks about church growth and decline, and the future of the SEC.
King of Kings with a twist.

The Boss is in the house. JS Bach.
Pip's choice of music this time. We explore the joy that is Bach, the greatest composer of all time, and possibly all time Top Human. Thrill to the wonder of the Netherlands Bach orchestra and choir as they sing Bach's possibly most joyous of motets, Lobet Den Herrn. And listen to Pip geeking out in a really big way.
Why don't you say what I think you ought to be saying?
If you are a member of the clergy, you will have come accross this - and its counterpart. There are some within our congregations who want us to "speak out" against things, or for things, and others who say that faith is "a private matter" and clergy "shouldn't talk politics. If you are frustrated that your priest does or doesn't do the things you want them to (or not to), or are a frustrated priest who doesn't do the things that people want you to or wants to do the things that they want you not to, and if you are still reading this desperately hoping to parse this sentence, then listen in!
Hard Fought Hallelujah
A reaction video with a bit of something for both Lesley and Pip, including astonishingly good musicianship and a very wet piano.
