The Rev Sean Turner has been a Methodist Minister in the south of the Island for the past five years but will be leaving the Island shortly to return to his home in North Carolina. He talks to Perspective about changes in society and community, love and faith. Does faith still have a place in society and if so why has there been such a big shift away from the church in the past few generations. That's Perspective this Easter Sunday at 12 noon on Manx Radio with me Phil Gawne. Has the societal shift away from community towards individualism thrown the baby out with the bath water

Rachel Humphrey was a trial attorney who was certain she would spend her entire career in front of judges and juries and eventually retire in a courtroom. After relocating from Virginia to Atlanta with her husband, she took a job at a firm where she represented clients in the hospitality industry, and that sparked a passion she didn't know she had. The hospitality industry was interesting to her, and she thought that becoming involved with the associations that help the industry might be a great next step, but she had no real business experience at all. Prompted by the unexpected departure of the nanny who took care of her children, Rachel decided to leave her job to be there for her young family. This also allowed her to do some serious soul searching and figure out what would come next. A serendipitous conversation with Cati Stone, then the executive director of Komen Atlanta, opened Rachel's eyes in ways she never could have imagined. As fate would have it, and what Rachel didn't know, was that Cati happened to be a former trial attorney who moved into a role as an association executive. The advice Rachel got from Cati showed her that there was a viable – and possible - path to follow her passion. Rachel networked her way into an executive role with AAHOA, the largest hotel owners association in the country, eventually ascending to the role of Interim CEO. After realizing a need for more diversity in the hospitality, she later founded the Women in Hospitality Leadership Alliance. In this episode, Rachel shares her path from fighting legal battles to advocating for women, and all the trials that went along with her journey.

In this excellent episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in studio by Greg Anglea, the CEO of Interfaith Community Services, which started in 1979 to empower people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion. Greg, who joined Interfaith in 2006 and became CEO in 2014, leads this unique organization in delivering services to over 20,000 annually, with services ranging from food and substance-abuse treatment to vocational training and homelessness. We learn from Greg that his path to making the world a better place was heavily influenced by his mother, who was an adult literacy teacher and a Methodist Minister. Her passion for creating change and social justice made a very early and lasting impact on Greg. No doubt his Mom, who passed away 10 years ago, would be proud of the leader and change agent he has become.And what are some of the changes he is trying to make happen for North County citizens in need? First and foremost is safety and security, which is increasingly difficult given the lack of shelters and transitional housing, which Greg points out are very much needed for 18-24 month periods of stability. Helping residents eradicate the hold of drugs and alcohol over their lives is also an important element of Interfaith. Greg makes a very important point with respect to substance abuse - the declining cost of drugs is exacerbating the problem, with a special mention that fentanyl has clearly become the drug of choice. Quite an excellent episode and conversation on homelessness and other challenges met daily by Interfaith. Here are some other takeaways from the interview with Greg Anglea: - His initial interest in working internationally on global challenges- The data-informed #1 reason for homelessness- "Homeless in San Diego" podcast started by Interfaith involves guests who have been homeless- The answers to the Rapid Fire questions! A truly informative, educational, and impactful interview from an excellent gap minder. Thank you, Greg, for your contributions to helping make San Diego a better community, and for joining us on The Gap Minders.Enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the show.

Anyone who's been out shopping in the last week will have found it impossible to miss the displays of chocolates, flowers and cards to be purchased and sent out as tokens of love, as we approach St Valentine's Day on February 14. In Wales, many will have already celebrated St. Dwynwen's Day on January 25. Both Valentine and Dwynwen are patron saints of lovers, and both dates are traditionally seen as opportunities to celebrate romantic love. Some dismiss the commerciality of the celebrations, and others take the opportunity to celebrate all loving relationships in their lives, including children and friends. Love is a central tenet in the Christian faith, with Jesus proclaiming the Great Commandment about loving God and loving our neighbour. ‘Love' is so engrained in our everyday vocabulary but, what is love, and why is it so hard to define? How is it embodied in our lives today? And how hard is it to follow that Great Commandment, to love our neighbour – is it actually possible? Joining Rosa Hunt to discuss all this are: Rev. John-Edward Funnell, Pastor of Noddfa Church, Abersychan; Sr Teresa White, a retired teacher, member of the congregation of the Faithful Companions of Jesus, based in Poplar, East London; And Rev. Delyth Liddell, a Methodist Minister and Coordinating Chaplain at Cardiff University.

Tonight's special guest is Mike Chapman from Wilson, North Carolina, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and trafficking, and a survivor of sexual assault as an adult by clergy, and dealing with all the mess that comes with it, including PTSD, anger, anxiety, codependency, and addictive behaviors. As a young man in college (age 20, but looked like 16 - late bloomer) a Methodist Minister sexually assaulted him. "My mother never wanted children," he says. "She had a bad experience with her own mother and did not want to be responsible for other children. My father insisted. So they had 3 children: 2 girls and a boy. I was the youngest. Unknown to my mother, he was a pedophile. That means I was born was to satisfy his pedophilia." As Mike grew, the abuse continued. "Once we got old enough where he lost interest, he left us. My parents separated, then divorced when I was 7 or 8. I had no father figure and a lot of mess. My mother was now a single mother with 3 kids she originally never wanted." That's when the Methodist Minister sexually assaulted him. "When I was 30 (I am in my mid-50s now), I uncovered repressed memories of being sexually abused by my father at age 3. In 2019) I sought out additional therapy, including PTSD therapy. We ended up uncovering even more repressed memories, including the fact that I was trafficked by my father to other men, and that the abuse did not actually begin at age 3 but started much earlier - as an infant, about 7 months old. The trafficking abuse continued until age 8 (when I 'aged out')." Mike is currently a part-time Recovery Life Coach for both Polar Life Consulting [PolarLifeConsulting@gmail.com] and Husband Material [www.husbandmaterial.com].

A special programme for this Remembrance Sunday - words and music for reflection and for hope - hope for better, peaceful world. Singer/songwriter Ralph McTell (of Streets of London fame) has always been interested in the First World War but it was a visit to the Menin Gate that compelled him to write his latest song - Unknown Soldier. On today's programme he not only sings the song, but talks in detail about his inspiration for it, and is moved to tears at the thought of the 50,000+ men who could never be identified, or went missing in action. Reverend Eddie Cubbon will long be remembered as a true Manxman and a respected Methodist Minister on the Isle of Man. But during WWII he was an Army Chaplain, and his story - as told to David Callister -vividly captures the horrors of jungle warfare against the Japanese. There's inspiring music, too - and if you would like to choose a favourite hymn for inclusion in a future programme, or if you have items for the Notice Board, please email judithley@manxradio.com

You're listening to Find the Good News, Episode 117, “The Weeping Sunset,” A Beacon Series conversation featuring Rev. Dr. Kenneth Patrick, author of "Journeying to the End of Life: Discovering the Ancient Hospice Way of Companioning the Dying." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Often, it's in revisiting a conversation during editing that its value truly sinks in. As you may know, it could be several weeks, or even months, after I've had a visit with a guest before their episode is published. On many occasions, going back to listen to the conversation reveals little details I missed, or perhaps didn't key in on, while in the natural flow with a guest. Or, as I had happened with this particular episode, the world around me changes in ways that affect my interior landscape,  giving new meaning to my guests' words. When considered in this light, editing becomes less a necessary task and more of a gift.   My guest in this episode, Reverend Doctor Kenneth Patrick, an ordained Methodist Minister, gave me the great gift of his time, and it has acted as a prescription for what ails me as we face, yet again, another surge of the Covid 19 virus in the United States of America.   The truth is, I've been circling the drain and have felt myself losing hope in my fellow beings' capacity to do the right thing, resolved to simply bear witness and weep privately for all the dismay and despair on full display. How am I to produce a show about finding the good when I clearly hold a tarnished view of those I would call human brothers and sisters? I need these episodes as much as anyone, I need to hear these good people doing good works in the world, people like Kenneth Patrick, who have dedicated their lives to the service of others, even though they too bear witness to the same calamities as I.   Kenneth is the author of the book "Journeying to the End of Life," and in it he presents what he calls the "Ancient Hospice Way" of being a true companion and servant to the dying.   In our conversation, Kenneth reveals that at a young age he made a type of pact with himself, that he would serve where people were suffering the most. You will discover, as I did, that he has spent his whole life doing that very thing.   Kenneth advocates moving outside our comfort bubbles and into situations that require work, work that effectively changes the world in a real and tangible way so that it can truly meet and help others where they are.   As an Army Chaplain, Kenneth brought solace and comfort to soldiers. As a compassionate social activist, he has hiked the Appalachian Trail solo—that's over 2,100 miles—to raise enough money to help the RAM house, a day shelter for the homeless in Virginia, an endeavor that has helped over 5,000 people, serving over 41,000 meals.   All the experiences of his life have lead to his current passion, providing compassionate companionship and care to those facing the end of their lives, considering this to be the most vital social issue of our age. The hospice method that he presents brings patients, families, healthcare professionals, and faith communities together in unison to reduce the layers of suffering that occur during the sunset of life, outlining training and resources so human beings can die at home, with dignity, well cared for, surrounded by those they love.   Now, if you are like me, if you are feeling the burden of a world in pain, weary from too much bad news, I invite you to listen to this conversation with a man that does not deny or turn away from the reality of the difficult age we find ourselves in, a man that encourages us to lean into our weeping during this time of sunset, and in the tears find a divine love. It is an encouragement to work and to hope. I invite you, dear listener, to tune your attention to this Good News Beacon, and press play on a little good news. ========== SUPPORT FIND THE GOOD NEWS — https://www.findthegood.news/donate/  ========== LEARN MORE ABOUT KENNETH — https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwbooks/article/Rev-Dr-Kenneth-Patrick-Launches-New-Marketing-Campaign-for-JOURNEYING-TO-THE-END-OF-LIFE-20141117  BUY JOURNEYING TO THE END OF LIFE — https://www.amazon.com/Journeying-End-Life-Discovering-Companioning/dp/1449054757  ========== FIND THE GOOD NEWS IS PRODUCED BY PARKER BRAND CREATIVE SERVICES — www.ParkerBrandUp.com   ==========

When a Methodist Minister retires, tradition says that they are 'sitting down'. So, having completed 9 years as Chair of the Isle of Man District of the Methodist Church, Reverend Richard Hall is 'sitting down' and he and is wife Ruth will shortly be leaving the Island. On today's programme, Richard reflects on his life as an ordained minister, hints at some of the challenges facing the Methodist Church, and chooses some music which is particularly meaningful to him. Mrs Olive Dobson first played the harmonium in Abbeylands Chapel on the first Sunday in July, 1941, for the Sunday School Anniversary Service - when she was just 11. 80 years later she is still playing in Abbeylands and shows no sign of stopping any time soon! She was also the organist in Onchan Methodist Church - the plan was for her to play whilst they looked for another organist, following the departure of Gordon Astill to the Parish Church ..... The temporary arrangement lasted for 50 years, during which Olive played in the morning in Onchan and afternoon and evening in Abbeylands! Olive tells her story of remarkable, quiet, steady dedication, on today's programme There's also lots of notice board information.

As we mentioned in a previous conversation with Dan Vogel, Joseph Smith’s First Vision was quite similar to Methodist visions of Christ of the day.  Dan says it doesn’t make sense for a Methodist minister to question Joseph’s vision.  I asked Dr. Steven Harper, author of “First Vision: Memory and Mormon Origins” to weigh in […] The post Did Methodist Minister Scold Young Joseph? appeared first on Gospel Tangents.

This compelling two-part interview is a must-listen for all, especially church goers who do not fully understand how longstanding and pervasive is the perversion of our churches to serve the Left. The Reverend Wes Brown was driven from United Methodist ministry for standing for God's Word in scripture on the issue of homosexuality. This happened to him, and others I have met, in the 1990's - not just in the last few years. So-called "cancel culture," or blacklisting as it has traditionally been known has been around for a very long time. This is Part One. Part Two will post tomorrow. www.PrattonTexas.com

We're constantly told that "it's OK to be not OK" - yet why is there so often still a stigma attached to mental health? Why do we feel it's a sign of weakness? That we should be able to "snap out of it" .... That we don't need anyone's help .... And could going to church make things even worse, when we're told in our hymns and prayers to "rejoice in the Lord at all times" ? On At Your Service this week, Rev'd Steve Ingrouille, Methodist Minister in the East of the Island, shares a moving account of his own experience of breakdown, and Caroline Salmon, a Methodist Local Preacher based in Ramsey, wonders what a truly inclusive church should look like? One that welcomes, accepts and helps people, whatever their state of mental health. AND YOU'RE INVITED to a special service to be held (all being well!) in Onchan Methodist Church on Sunday 7 March at 10.30am - to give thanks and pray for all the Island's mental healthcare services and their staff - all the organisations will be represented in the church, alongside members of Government. And there's music too - Gareth Moore sings and plays an inspiring version of Andrew Murphy's hymn 'In The Wonder of Creation', there's worship music from Matt Redman, and a beautiful musical setting of Psalm 42 by The Sons of Korah If you'd like to request your favourite hymn or sacred song for inclusion in a future programme, do please email me with the details - judithley@manxradio.com And that's the email address to use, if you'd like to send me details of services and events for inclusion on our Notice Board

Tonight's special guest is Mike Chapman from Wilson, North Carolina, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and trafficking, and a survivor of sexual assault as an adult by clergy, and dealing with all the mess that comes with it, including PTSD, anger, anxiety, codependency, and addictive behaviors. As a young man in college (age 20, but looked like 16 - late bloomer) a Methodist Minister sexually assaulted him. "My mother never wanted children," he says."She had a bad experience with her own mother and did not want to be responsible for other children. My father insisted. So they had 3 children: 2 girls and a boy. I was the youngest. Unknown to my mother, he was a pedophile. This also means that the only reason I was born was to satisfy his pedophilia." As Mike grew, the abuse continued. "Once we got old enough where he lost interest, he left us. My parents separated, then divorced when I was 7 or 8. I had no father figure and a lot of mess. My mother was now a single mother with 3 kids she originally never wanted." That's when the Methodist Minister sexually assaulted him. "When I was 30 (I am in my mid-50s now), I uncovered repressed memories of being sexually abused by my father at age 3. Last year (2019) I sought out additional therapy, including PTSD therapy. We ended up uncovering even more repressed memories, including the fact that I was trafficked by my father to other men, and that the abuse did not actually begin at age 3 but started much earlier - when I was an infant, about 7 months old. The trafficking abuse continued until age 8 (when I 'aged out')."

Guests include Labour Peer Lord Peter Hain, Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts, CBI Wales director Ian Price, US writer and producer Ben Sheehan, Methodist Minister and life peer Lord Leslie Griffiths.

Our guest tonight is a retired Methodist Minister who now works as Missions Coordinator supporting churches to establish new forms of church for our changing culture and a missional coach enabling people to find new ways to grow disciples to make disciples. Join us as we get to know Christopher Harrison.

As we come to the end of an acrimonious General Election campaign, Beyond Belief attempts to soothe the fractious public mood with a discussion on Friendship. The dictionary defines Friendship as “a state of mutual trust between friends but can friendship survive a deep division of opinion? Can we be friends with someone who holds radically different religious and ethical principles to ours? Can we really describe someone whom we have only met online as a Friend? To discuss these questions are the Reverend David Butterworth, a Methodist Minister; Julie Siddiqi, a leading Muslim feminist and activist with a focus on gender equality and inter faith relations; and Laura Janner-Klausner, Senior Rabbi to Reform Judaism. Producer: Helen Lee

Mark Salvacion had been a lawyer for 25 years but increasingly felt the focus on “making money” and “evading the law in the right way” was crushing his soul. The final straw…after he uncovered a specific instance of fraud within his company and refused to sweep it under the rug, he was fired within two weeks. So in his early 50s, Mark switched gears from his work as a corporate lawyer and decided to become a Methodist Minister. Today he is the pastor of Historic St. George’s Church in Philadelphia, a church with a long, rich history but also some immediate challenges. DOWNLOAD EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

We're in the middle of a 7-part series where we're walking the Christian Calendar with Charlotte-based Methodist Minister, Susan Heafner-Heun, to better understand the "Christian year". Right now we're in the middle of the Easter season, which lasts until June 4. *Raise your hand if you had no idea that Easter was a full season or that it lasts 50 days! We're with you! Easter is about many things, but it's most certainly about hope! What else is it about? What do the Gospel writers tell us about God being a God of Life through the Easter story? What is the message of death not having the last word? What's up with the bodily resurrection? How about the garden where Jesus' open tomb was said by some to be located? How about all the appearances Jesus made after he died? What were all the "little" stories that were included in the larger Easter Story? In our usual inquiring fasion, we hop down a few bunny trails, and ask about "The Way" and the followers of The Way, the significance of breath, the Gospel writers, "Doubting Thomases", mystical experiences, and more! Please join us for this rich, unconventional exploration of the Easter story & season!
