What links the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and St Peter's in Rome with the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and Canaanland in Ota, Nigeria? These are just some of the churches that Anglican priest and writer the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie highlights in his new book Twelve Churches: An Unlikely History of the Buildings that made Christianity. The Anglican priest and writer joins Damian Thompson on Holy Smoke to explain how each Church not only tells a story but also raises a surprising dilemma for modern believers.Fergus aims to tell the history of the Churches 'warts and all' and argues that, from Turkey to Britain, today's Christians must be prepared to defend their religious spaces. Also, why is the Church of England one of the worst offenders when it comes to preserving its heritage? Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The story of Christianity is full of paradox—spaces of violence and division becoming arenas of hope and redemption. In this episode, I sit down with priest and author Fergus Butler-Gallie to talk about his book Twelve Churches, which traces the history of Christianity through twelve remarkable church buildings across the globe. From Bethlehem to Birmingham, Rome to Japan, these spaces reveal the comedy and tragedy, unity and division, beauty and brokenness woven into the Church's story. Together, we explore how these places still point us back to Jesus and what they teach us about power, authenticity, and hope in a fractured world.Fergus Butler-Gallie is an author, journalist, and an ordained Anglican priest who was educated at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and has served in London and Liverpool. He is the author of A Field Guide to the English Clergy, which was named a Best Book of the Year by The Times (London), The Mail on Sunday (London), and BBC History; Priests de la Resistance!, which was a Spectator Best Book of the Year; Touching Cloth; and Twelve Churches. He is Editor-at-Large for The Fence, and his journalism has appeared in publications including The Times (London), The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph (London), Financial Times, and The New Statesman (UK). He won the 2022 P.G. Wodehouse Society (UK) Essay Prize.Fergus' Book:Twelve ChurchesFergus' Recommendation:The Man in the Red CoatSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Donald Trump's reined back on his ability to end the conflict in Ukraine - following historic talks at the White House with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders. The U.S. president's ruled out putting the country's troops on the ground - while warning that Russia's Vladimir Putin 'might not want' to secure a peace deal. The White House insists support from the air is both 'an option and possibility' as part of security guarantees. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed there are no plans to send American troops to enforce any future peace deal. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It comes after Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet and discuss ways to achieve peace in Ukraine. Russian officials have told the BBC they have not rejected the idea of direct talks, but say there shouldn't be "a meeting for the sake of a meeting". To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Donnacha O'Beacháin, Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at Dublin City University.

Interior Designer and Principal Jennifer Fleming shares insights into their approach, emphasizing the importance of listening to communities, collaborating with local artists, and integrating cultural narratives into design. By focusing on authenticity and community connection, Rice Fergus Miller crafts environments that resonate deeply with their surroundings and the people they serve.

Fergus Sweetland is a Melbourne-born, London-based artist known for his wonky, wobbly, and rhythm-driven take on contemporary techno. Blending texture, atmosphere, and groove, his music crafts immersive narratives that tap into instinct and emotion. His DJ sets echo the same spirit—dynamic, playful, and always evolving. A core member of the Hayes Collective, Fergus has released on respected labels such as Illegal Alien, NRBK, Connection Verified, and his own imprint, Pressure Systems. The label reflects his belief that sound is pressure, and music is its system—a platform for total creative freedom and raw self-expression. This mix was recorded in July 2025 at The Glove That Fits as the closing set for Fossil Archive. The concept was to present an album in the context of a DJ set - something I'd been wanting to explore for a while. For this first attempt, I chose Spread by Heiko Laux. Heiko is like an older brother to me, so it felt special to honour his work in this way. You could say it was a Heiko Laux night.

To review the sporting fixtures, Derrick Lynch was joined on Monday's Morning Focus by Clare FM's Derek Dormer and Kevin Sheehan Games Reviewed: TUS Clare SHC: Friday: Group 1: Clonlara v Sixmilebridge (Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chiosog) Group 3: Newmarket-on-Fergus v Éire Óg (Clarecastle) Saturday: Group 2: Clooney Quin v Broadford (Shannon) Group 4: Kilmaley v Ballyea (Sixmilebridge) Group 1: Crusheen v St. Joseph's Doora Barefield (Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chiosog) Group 3: Feakle v Wolfe Tones Shannon (Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chiosog) Group 4: Cratloe v Scariff (Broadford) Group 2: Inagh-Kilnamona v Corofin (Gurteen) Premier IHC: Friday: Group 1: Killanena v O'Callaghan's Mill (Scariff) Saturday: Group 2: Clarecastle v Whitegate (Bodyke) Sunday: Ruan v Sixmilebridge (Cratloe) TUS IHC: Sunday: Group 1: O'Callaghan's Mills v Broadford (Clonlara) Inagh-Kilnamona v Scariff (Clooney) Group 2: St. Joseph's Doora Barefield v Smith O'Briens (Broadford) Newmarket-on-Fergus v Kilmaley (Ballyea) All Ireland Minor B LGFA Final: Clare v Sligo (Saturday, Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence, Bekan)

The opening round of this year's TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship provided plenty of drama across the weekend. Kilmaley came back from the dead to snatch a one point victory against Ballyea, while newly promoted Wolfe Tones shared the spoils with reigning champions Feakle in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg. Clonlara laid down an early marker in the first game of the 2025 championship as they defeated 2024 beaten finalists Sixmilebridge by a point in their Group 1 encounter on Friday evening. The Bridge thought they'd secured a draw with an Alex Morey free in added time but a placed ball of their own from Cathal O'Connell claimed a 1-19 to 1-18 win for 2023 Canon Hamilton winners. The team that were defeated on that occasion are top of Group 1 after the opening weekend however, as Crusheen opened their account with a five point win over Doora/Barefield on a score of 23 points to 1-15. Inagh-Kilnamona sit atop Group 2 following the opening weekend of action after a convincing win over Corofin. The combo notched an impressive 31 points in their 13 point victory in Gurteen. Meanwhile, Clooney-Quin occupy second spot after Darragh McNamara raided for a late goal to defeat Broadford 1-18 to 2-12. Group 3 saw the meeting of the reigning Senior and Intermediate champions as Feakle and Wolfe Tones played out a 19 points to 1-16 draw. Darragh Lohan netted a second half penalty for the Shannon side early in the second half, while the county champions might have to contend with the loss of keeper Eibhear Quilligan who went off in the first half. Feakle boss Ger Conway says his side did well to hold onto a point given the number of injuries in his squad. In the other game in that group a red card for Luca Cleary didn't deter Éire Óg as they downed Newmarket on Fergus in Clarecastle. Darren O'Brien and Marco Cleary raised second half green flags en route to a 2-24 to 1-19 win. Kilmaley produced a remarkable comeback as they defeated Ballyea in Group 4. Two stunning Tony Kelly goals in the opening period looked to have given his side an insurmountable eleven point half time lead. However, spurred on by goals from Tommy Barry and Conor Cleary, Kilmaley gradually reeled in the 2022 champions before a Mikey O'Malley free sealed the most unlikely of comebacks. Kilmaley boss Brian Culbert says his sides's first 30 minutes left a lot to be desired and credited the victory to an increase in intensity. Cratloe, however, will head into the next round in pole position. They got the better of Scariff 1-24 to 1-21 in a thrilling encounter in Broadford. In the Premier Intermediate championship O'Callaghan's Mills and Tubber recorded wins in Group 1, while Clarecastle lead the way in Group 2 after they defeated Whitegate, while Ruan and Sixmilebridge played out a draw.

I 1986 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh eisimirce mhór sa tír, agus bhí clann ag dul chuig Londain chun post a fháil. I 1969 tháinig sé amach go raibh laghdú ar an méid daoine a raibh ag teacht chuig Cill Chaoi I gcomparáid leis an bhliain roimhe.

Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1999 tháinig deireadh leis an Fhéile Woodstock an bhliain sin mar go raibh círéib ann agus ghabh 120 duine ann. I 2017 ghabh Justin Bieber leithscéal dá leantóirí de bharr gur chuir sé a cheolchoirm ar ceal ar chúiseanna nach raibh súil leo. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Michael Welch I Meiriceá I 1987 agus rugadh aisteoir Matt LeBlanc I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1967 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

Today is the 24th of July. It's an important day for the Samaritans as they get the opportunity to remind people all over Ireland that they are here to listen and offer help and support – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels. As you listen along, you can refer to the character glossary provided by the Brothers Krynn: Tahlon Kenobi: son of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi (Kenobi), Wields a double-sided Blue lightsaber, his style is Form IV (Ataru variant) Talanis Salazzar: Mandalorian warrior woman, 5 years older than Tahlon.

He is Melirah's clone commander. ARC-Commander 1138 “Crusher”: Commander of the 189th Legion. Another ruthless clone commander with a cold and impatient side, who believes people have to win his respect, as he hates incompetence, and has no patience for fools.
