Sunday Morning with Sally Magnusson 22 May

Peter McManus, the Senior Producer of our Religion and Ethics department sent us this email about Sunday Morning with Sally Magnusson, and the forthcoming Church of Scotland Assembly 2011...

Sally's busy preparing for her new series of Sunday Morning with Sally Magnusson. Her guest for the first hour is Nick Thorpe who's been learning to how to let go in his new book Urban Worrier. They might also get a bit of help from Sally's other guest Professor Tommy MacKay who believes that psychology has the power to change the world.

The main event though will be a preview of this year's controversial General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. After two years of silence the assembly will return to the subject of whether to train and ordain openly gay ministers. It's an argument that has the potential to split the church, Sally will hearing from both sides before finding out what it's like when a Church fractures.

All that and Bob Dylan's 70th birthday will be celebrated through the music he made during his brief conversion to Christianity.
