One of the core needs we have as human beings is to relate and connect with others. This is what makes us who we are. Cathy Macdonald and her guests, Mona Siddiqui, Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies at the University of Edinburgh, and Esa Aldegheri, an academic and activist working in the field of migration and integration, look at relationships and how they鈥檝e been affected by this current pandemic we鈥檙e facing. And it鈥檚 just not our relationship with our family, they also explore our attitudes towards neighbourliness and how that鈥檚 changed in recent weeks, along with Canon Dave Richards, from St Pauls and St Georges Scottish Episcopal Church in Edinburgh, who are participating in the nationwide Your Neighbour Organisation.

Beyond the family and neighbourhood, we hear from some overseas friends, including Reverend Gillean Maclean of the Scots Kirk in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Reverend Ian Gilmour, of St Andrew鈥檚 Scots Kirk, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Broadcaster Catrina Rose joins Esa Aldegheri and Mona Siddiqui to consider those who are particularly vulnerable or at risk at the moment. And they鈥檒l also be discussing a new documentary, produced by Michelle and Barack Obama, which casts light on the rise of the disabled civil rights movement in the US and the revolutionary teenage holiday camp that inspired it.
