This week, Sally and Ben discuss the recently released film, ‘ Wicked', and in particular, the film's counter-cultural emphasis on friendship. They also survey the latest news on the Assisted Dying Bill and how they're thinking about it now that it has passed its second reading. References:In the show, Ben and Sally mention that the Bill passed with a majority of 55 MPs – that means that just 28 MPs would need to shift from a 'yes' to a 'no' vote (or abstain) to see this defeated at the third reading. The article below shows that some MPs who voted 'yes' (more than 28) did so while stating public concerns. They could switch their vote if their concerns cannot be addressed by the committee stage:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/assisted-dying-mps-vote-bill-b2656510.html Transforming Friendship: Investing in the Next Generation- Lessons from John Stott and others, book by John Wyatthttps://ivpbooks.com/transforming-friendship Support the show

Our hope is that we might highlight the diversity of voices represented across our growing Christian nursing and midwifery fellowship in the British Isles, which we have begun by recording some soundbites from our black nurse and midwifery members. But we want to add more stories to this collection in the future, including those from other ethnic minority members.We're aware that listening to these soundbites is likely to evoke a range of emotions in both our black and other ethnic minority members, as well as in our white members. However, as a fellowship, we don't shy away from difficult topics and believe that these are important conversations worth having. As Paul writes to the Corinthians, we are one body with many parts and ‘parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it'. (1 Corinthians 12:25b-26) We give thanks to God and celebrate with our brothers and sisters who are seeing positive changes in their workplaces and lament with those who are still witnessing and being victims of racism and prejudices.THANK YOU:Thank you to all our brave contributors for your openness and vulnerability with us. We hear you. We are listening. If you have a story to share as well, please get in contact with us. As well as these five-minute soundbites, we welcome longer written pieces, blogs or articles.

Dr Nancy Pearcey, author of the seminal Love Thy Body,  gave us some time in July to talk about her new book The Toxic War on Masculinity. Our culture seems not to know what to do with men. It assumes they are entitled, privileged, and at the top of the pile, but the evidence from social sciences suggests the picture is not so clear cut. Men die younger, have poorer health, physically and mentally, and are more likely to die at their own hands or at the hands of other men, than are women. In a wide-ranging discussion we look at whether there is a crisis in masculinity in Western culture and the Western church, what are its causes, and why the gospel and biblical teaching are good news for men, women, and society.Dr Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as 'America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual.'You can find out more about Dr Pearcey's book at The Toxic War on Masculinity You can read the Triple Helix review at cmf.li/43yydKRThis year's International Men's Day on 19 November seeks to raise awareness of the causes of the high suicide rate among young men - see internationalmensday.com for more information.Support the show
