Two hours of music and conversation from a faith and ethical perspective, asking what the week's events say about our values and beliefs.

What do you want for Scotland's future? Postcards from Scotland is a book series designed to stimulate radical new ways to rethink how we live. We hear from two of the writers behind the series about the alternative community projects they've seen.

Author of the Narnia series, CS Lewis found faith in his midlife. Professor of Theology and author of biography, 'CS Lewis: A Life', Alister McGrath gives his views why so many regard this former atheist as a Christian icon.
