The recent COP26 meeting in Glasgow is the subject which opens our latest podcast. Gethin chats with Paul Bodenham a Trustee of Green Christian, a leading Christian environmental group, for his assessment of COP26 and the importance of keeping the 1.5 centigrade aspiration within reach.

We then hear from Mary Hammond, Editor of The Plain Truth magazine which sponsors our Plain Talking podcasts. Mary recently met with Joe and Anna Beswick, a couple who are running a Christian enterprise project based in Hexham, Northeast of England, which reaches out to some of society’s most vulnerable citizens.

Finally, retired Methodist minister and former President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, Jim Rea MBE, offers a post-Advent reflection on the limits of language to express awe and wonder.
