Seeking Justice; Blood Oil; Nature & Prayer
Audrey Carville and guests debate the human quest for closure in the face of tragedy, the west's dependence on autocratic oil regimes, and nature's role in spirituality and faith.
Audrey Carville and guests debate the human quest for closure in the face of tragedy and how individuals cope differently with traumatic deaths. In light of the Hillsborough inquests, she assesses if the pursuit of justice can go hand in hand with emotional healing for some, while others choose a different path. Leif Wenar, Chair of Philosophy and Law at King's College London, shares his thoughts on how western countries can change their dependence on autocratic oil regimes and how, as consumers, we're all complicit in the purchasing of "blood oil", while Dr Matthew Shadle explains the concept of a "just war" and the debate within the Catholic Church to remove it from its doctrine. And as we celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day, Audrey reflects on nature and its intrinsic link to spirituality. Plus we'll have the best of the Sunday papers.
