The writer Colum McCann isn't afraid to take on big subjects – and his ambition has delivered a shelf full of awards, from both sides of the Atlantic. He grew up in Dublin but moved to the United States in the mid-1980s and now lives in New York. That city is the setting for his international bestseller Let the Great World Spin, in which Philippe Petit's tightrope walk between the Twin Towers in 1974 plays a key role. He's also written a novel about both sides of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people, from the perspectives of two fathers.He collaborated with Diane Foley, whose son James was executed by Islamic State militants, to create a memoir, American Mother, which was published last year. Most recently his novel Twist focuses on the vulnerability of the undersea cables carrying the world's internet data. Colum's music includes Gorecki, Prokofiev, Brahms and Haydn.
Marc & Kim welcome Diane Foley, founder and president of the James Foley Legacy Foundation, to discuss the powerful work her organization does in honoring her son James Foley's legacy. After James was tragically kidnapped and murdered by ISIS, Diane quickly launched the foundation to advocate for the safe return of innocent Americans taken hostage, and to promote journalist safety worldwide. Diane shares how the foundation has made progress over the years, including securing the release of over 150 American hostages, and the ongoing challenge of negotiating with terrorists. She also reflects on the difficulties families face when their loved ones are held captive and the political complexities that influence the negotiation process. The conversation also touches on the rising threat to Americans abroad, especially in regions like Syria, Iran, and Russia. Diane urges listeners to get involved by supporting the foundation, watching the documentary Jim, The James Foley Story, and reading American Mother.
Diane Foley is the Mother of James (Jim) Foley who was publicly beheaded by ISIS militants in Syria in 2014. Diane is the subject of the book 'American Mother' by Colum McCann and created the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation to work with governments and families of those taken hostage by terrorists. I wanted to speak to Diane about how God and her faith guided and strengthened her through her journey of healing. Some highlights from this episode include how prayer guided Diane through her series of face-to-face meetings with her son's killer, why she never felt abandoned by God despite the difficult trials that she and her family went through, and what drives Diane to keep James's legacy alive today.--You can find the book written by Diane & Colum at the following link:- https://colummccann.com/american-mother/Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

What can a mother say to the cold-blooded executioner of her son? In American Mother, the heartrending story of the murdered American journalist Jim Foley, the writer Colum McCann and Diane Foley, Foley's mother and founder of the Foley Foundation, explore this terrible dilemma. This memorable conversation with Foley and McCann explores forgiveness, faith, and the moral complexities of justice. Most of all, though, it's the conversation about a mother's remarkable love for her dead son which she maintains and even redirects to his ISIS killer.Here are the five KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with McCann and Foley:* The Power of Forgiveness: Diane Foley's ability to forgive Alexander Kotey, one of her son Jim's killers, demonstrates extraordinary grace. Her Christian faith played a crucial role in this process, though forgiveness wasn't easy or natural - it was a conscious choice that led to meaningful human connection even in the most difficult circumstances.* Policy Impact Through Tragedy: Jim Foley's death led to significant changes in U.S. hostage policy. The Foley Foundation's work has helped bring home nearly 150 Americans since 2015, and led to the creation of a formal government structure for handling hostage situations - a direct result of the Obama administration's initial failures and subsequent reforms.* The Complexity of Justice: The case highlights nuanced views on justice and the death penalty. The Foleys advocated against the death penalty for their son's killers, arguing that life imprisonment offers a chance for reflection and potential redemption, while execution would simply perpetuate cycles of violence.* Grief's Individual Journey: Diane's experience shows how grief manifests differently for each person. While her other children needed distance from the situation to heal, she channeled her grief into activism and forgiveness. Her willingness to meet her son's killer was not shared by other family members.* The Value of Journalism: Jim Foley's story underscores the importance and dangers of conflict journalism. His commitment to telling stories of people yearning for freedom in the Middle East, even after being kidnapped once in Libya, reflects the crucial role journalists play in helping the world understand complex situations and human struggles.Diane M. Foley is President and Founder of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, which she created in September 2014 less than a month after the public beheading by ISIS in Syria of her son James W. Foley, an American freelance conflict journalist. In 2015, she led JWFLF efforts to fund the start of Hostage US and the International Alliance for a Culture of Safety, ACOS. She actively participated in the National Counterterrorism Center hostage review which culminated in the Presidential Policy Directive-30. This directive created the current US hostage enterprise consisting of an interagency Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, and a White House Hostage Response Group to free innocent Americans taken hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. JWFLF was instrumental in the passage of the Robert Levinson Hostage Taking and Accountability Act. She has been a tireless hostage, wrongful detainee and family advocate within the US hostage enterprise, Congress, and every presidential administration since 2014. She has raised awareness of international hostage-taking and wrongful detention using the award-winning documentary, “Jim, the James Foley story”, opinion pieces in the New York Times, Washington Post and USA Today and media interviews. Diane has spoken on the power of forgiveness in various faith communities and was included in 200 Women, edited by Geoff Blackwell. She co-authored the book “American Mother” which was published in 2024 with writer Colum McCann. Diane is also the author of a chapter called, “Life For A Voice: the Work of Journalist James W. Foley through the Eyes of his Family” in Living with Precariousness, edited by Christina Lee and Susan Leong, which was published in 2023.Previously, Diane worked as a community health nurse and as a family nurse practitioner for 18 years. She received both her undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of New Hampshire. She is active in her Roman Catholic parish of St Katherine Drexel in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, where she lives with her husband, Dr. John W. Foley. She is the mother of five children.Colum McCann is the internationally bestselling author of the novels Let the Great World Spin and TransAtlantic. His newest novel, Apeirogon, will appear in 2020. It has already been acclaimed as a "transformative novel" (Raja Shehadeh). He is also the author of Zoli, Dancer, This Side of Brightness, and Songdogs, as well as three critically acclaimed story collections. His fiction has been published in more than forty languages. As well as a National Book Award winner, Colum has been a finalist for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was the inaugural winner of the Ireland Fund of Monaco Literary Award in Memory of Princess Grace. He has been named one of Esquire's "Best and Brightest," and his short film Everything in This Country Must was nominated for an Oscar in 2005. A contributor to The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Paris Review, he teaches in the Hunter College MFA Creative Writing Program. He lives in New York City with his wife and their three children.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

For time immemorial, various groups have been taking hostages, political prisoners, and illegally detaining people with impunity. This tried-and-true method of gaining leverage over a rival state or group continues today, despite the fact that is runs contrary to established international law. As of this posting 42 Americans are being illegally detained by foreign governments and the United States, after a long practice of not negotiating, is finally getting serious about bringing its citizens home. As this delicate dance continues to play out on the international stage, the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation continues to lead the way on responses to these illegal and immoral actions taken by foreign governments, rebel groups, and terrorist organizations. In this month's episode, we speak with Diane Foley, mother of slain journalist James Foley, about the work of their family's foundation to help ensure no other family has to endure the pain they did back in 2012 when ISIS killed their son. We dive into what the research tells us about different responses, what is effective, what needs to change, and how we all can work to keep ourselves safe while traveling abroad. This important conversation provides audiences with key information and hope for the future. The more international attention we can bring to this practice, the more we can pressure governments to sign on to the Declaration Against Arbitrary Detention in State-to-State Relations, a global initiative started by Canada in 2021, the less likely it is that people will continue to be used as political pawns, simply because of their nationality. 2024 Foley Foundation Hostage Report10th Annual James W.

In honor of Read Across America we're going to get another story from Thornton Burgess. His stories were originally published in magazines and in most of them they set up the next chapter. This particular one those is short stories. We're going to start with "Mr. Toad's Old Suit."
In this edition of arts24 we discover an extraordinary book unlike any you've probably ever read. "American Mother" is a thriller, a memoir, a mystery: the story of how Diane Foley found answers and atonement after her son James was brutally murdered by the Islamic State (IS) group. He was a freelance journalist who was held captive by the IS group for two years before being beheaded in the Syrian desert in 2014. The video was shared online for all the world to see. In the book "American Mother", Diane Foley's voice has been captured by legendary Irish writer Colum McCann.
My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the award-winning novelist Colum McCann, whose new book takes him out of the territory of fiction and into something slightly different. American Mother is written in collaboration with Diane Foley, mother of Jim Foley, the journalist killed by ISIS in Syria in 2014. He tells me how he came to reinvent himself as (not quite) a ghostwriter, why he thinks you can use the tools of the fiction-writer to get at journalistic truth, and about what it was like to sit in the room with Diane Foley and the man who murdered her son.

However, despite his attempts, his forces have not been able to capture the country's capital or overthrow its government, and with the support of NATO, the country has been able to resist Russia.

I recently had a conversation with an Austrian woman that turned my understanding of American parenting on its head. She shed light on the stark contrast between our fear-tinged approach and the straightforward, instinct-led style of Austrian parents. In this episode, I unpack the origins and impacts of the American psychological parenting revolution of the '60s and '70s and how it has left today's mothers wrestling with a host of fears.

Comment regarder dans les yeux celui qui vous a enlevé ce que vous aviez de plus précieux ? Comment pardonner à l'assassin d'un des siens ? Comment garder espoir quand tant d'atrocités sont commises au nom de la religion ? Colum McCann a accompagné Diane Foley au procès des bourreaux de Daech, ceux qui ont torturé et décapité son fils, le journaliste américain James Foley. Jour après jour, il a vu cette mère au courage exceptionnel puiser dans sa foi et son humanisme la force d'affronter ce drame atroce et violent. De cette expérience hors normes, Colum McCann a tiré un texte puissant, pour redonner voix à tous ceux qui souffrent et luttent contre les fanatismes. À lire – Colum McCann (avec Diane Foley), American mother, trad. de l'anglais par Clément Baude, éd. Belfond, 2024.

As I write this column we are experiencing May showers. May the May showers bring blessings and May flowers! The weekend found many in the community planting their gardens and flowers. My joy and challenge was having a two-year-old granddaughter helping plant the seeds. Indeed a challenge with those little hands planting seeds of love!It was over ‘a cup of tea' at the Recognition Tea for our South Dakota Mother of the Year, Margaret Connors, that I shared the joys and challenges of motherhood with mothers and grandmothers. I was seated across the table from our 1993 American Mother of the Year, Mrs. Ruby Washington and her daughter, Michele Blakely, both from Grand Island, Nebraska. Our American Mother for this year is indeed a jewel of a mother and we feel confident that she will represent motherhood well this year. Her love for God and a wonderful sense of humor has helped her through thirty-five years of marriage and motherhood. She has seven children and has been a foster-mother to two-hundred twenty-five foster children. Most of the foster children their family has had in their home have been teenagers who have needed parental guidance and support during a difficult time in their lives. Our American Mother for 1993 will tell you how her parents left an indelible imprint on her life. They, too, loved many children and helped and guided them along life's way.Have you ever attended a bridal shower when the bride is not present and is in another state? Recently I attended a shower for my niece who lives in Texas and will be getting married in June. It was a real fun time for family to get together and not know when the video camera would come in your direction. It was like being on ‘candid camera' and seeing the production before returning to your homes again. The gifts were not opened as they will be taken to the bride when family goes to the wedding. However, we played the game of acting out what was in the gift we brought! Really funny on ‘candid camera!' In this age of high technology we need not even have to fly all over the country to be present at your bridal shower - just receive the video and of course the gifts! As families together celebrate at graduations, weddings, showers, birthdays, and special family celebrations, let us plan to make a memory. And how important it is to choose carefully the memories that we live with as we travel down memory lane together.A Warm Thought for the Week: “If you love from the heart you can love one another with all your heart.” Ruby Washington, American Mother for 1993.
