Chris Bennett, Dr Naomi Green, Michele Marken and Professor Duncan Morrow join Audrey Carville to reflect on some of the major ethical and faith themes of 2025, and offer their hopes for 2026. The panel discuss the alienation and dehumanisation of young men; changes and challenges in leadership of faith communities; as well as global conflict and politics. We revisit interviews with Niobe Way (professor of behavioural psychology), Father Carlos Ferrero (parish priest of Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City), Andrey Kurkov (Ukrainian satirist and diarist), Bishop Mariann Budde (National Cathedral in Washington DC), and dip into Sunday Sequence's live broadcast from St Peter's Square after the election of Pope Leo XIV.
