Two hours of music and conversation with a faith and ethical perspective, taking the week's events to ask what they say about our values and beliefs.

He's held a number of high offices throughout his career, from Governor of Hong Kong to Chair of the 主播大秀 Trust. Lord Chris Patten talks to Sally Magnusson about his life in public office and his Catholic faith.

In our occasional Inspirations series, Marzana Antoniak shares her passion for voluntary community work, and the impact Frank McCourt's book, 'Angela Ashes', had on her.

Would a glitzy Mad Men-style advertising campaign bring you back to the church? With Church of Scotland's congregation numbers in decline, the Kirk has been looking at how to get their core message out to a wider audience. The Very Rev Albert Bogle, creator of Sanctuary First, an online worshipping community, and Luke Devlin, Executive Director of the Centre for Human Ecology, discuss whether marketing and projecting a strong brand is the way forward for religious institutions.

We get to know one of the 20th century's most influential women, Eglantyne Jebb. Anne Chamberlain's one-woman play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival focuses on the life of this visionary social reformer who founded Save the Children.

A group of young people from Glasgow have recently returned from a cultural exchange to Zambia. They're part of the Church of Scotland-backed youth project Bolt FM, and met up with young Zambians to share ideas and experiences, including how they and their communities are represented in the media. Two of the young broadcasters, Eilidh McMillan and Ross McFarlane join Sally, along with Neil Young, a youth leader with the Kirk.

And as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival gets underway, Sally meets one of the sharpest comedians on the circuit. In his show 'Saint, Sinner, Sufi', Imran Yusuf wrestles with his own virtues and failings, and the role of faith in his life.
