Talking Faith - a brief introduction

Our new podcast, Talking Faith, will begin in the first week of May 2026. This is just a wee taster to introduce ourselves, and to apologise in advance how very amateur we are... if you have any questions or thoughts about the podcast, music for us to listen to and subjects for us to cover, email us at talkingthefaith@gmail.com and we'll be delighted to hear from you. Well that's our aim...

You only work on a Sunday...

In this episode, Lesley and Pip confront the most common thing people say to them - "you only work one day a week!". In this podcast we go through our weeks, sharing some of the pleasures, privilages, and challenges of our job in small churches in a rural part of Scotland.

What has God got to do with it?

In this, our second episode of our podcast, we discuss one of the bigger issues

How can you possibly believe in the Resurrection?

Have a question? email us at talkingthefaith@gmail.com ooh, let's start with the big one. It is still the season of Easter, the FORTY days of unremitting joy, as they say. In this podcast, we deal with a question that people who are honest enough to talk to us often ask - why on earth do we believe that a man was dead, and then wasn't?

Reaction Pod - The Lord's Prayer in Aramaic.

Lesley and Pip come from very different musical traditions, so they like to surprise each other with some music from their tradition. Here Pip shares a version of the Lord's prayer in Aramaic, sung in the presence of Pope Francis of blessed memory.

Winter is coming! An interview with the Bishop-elect of Edinburgh, Dagmar Winter. (apologies for poor sound in places)

In this episode Pip speaks with Bishop Dagmar, currently acting Bishop of Ely and Bishop or Huntingdon, as she prepares to pack up her theology books and make the great trek north to the sunlit uplands of the Scottish Episocopal church. Dagmar talks about her upbringing in the faith, her love of the border lands, and what led her to the glory that we call the 'piscy church. This was our first foray into online meetings, so apologies for the poor sound quality in places. Have thoughts, questions, queries or complaints? email us on talkingthefaith@gmail.com
