In this episode Pip speaks with Bishop Dagmar, currently acting Bishop of Ely and Bishop or Huntingdon, as she prepares to pack up her theology books and make the great trek north to the sunlit uplands of the Scottish Episocopal church. Dagmar talks about her upbringing in the faith, her love of the border lands, and what led her to the glory that we call the 'piscy church.

This was our first foray into online meetings, so apologies for the poor sound quality in places.

Lesley and Pip come from very different musical traditions, so they like to surprise each other with some music from their tradition. Here Pip shares a version of the Lord's prayer in Aramaic, sung in the presence of Pope Francis of blessed memory.

Have a question? email us at talkingthefaith@gmail.com ooh, let's start with the big one. It is still the season of Easter, the FORTY days of unremitting joy, as they say. In this podcast, we deal with a question that people who are honest enough to talk to us often ask - why on earth do we believe that a man was dead, and then wasn't?

In this, our second episode of our podcast, we discuss one of the bigger issues

Our new podcast, Talking Faith, will begin in the first week of May 2026. This is just a wee taster to introduce ourselves, and to apologise in advance how very amateur we are... if you have any questions or thoughts about the podcast, music for us to listen to and subjects for us to cover, email us at talkingthefaith@gmail.com and we'll be delighted to hear from you. Well that's our aim...

Welcome to the first of a new series! Talking faith, where two Episcopal priests in the Scottish Borders, discuss the questions that matter to you, whether you are an atheist, believer, or anything in between.

We tell our stories - how it was that one of us (Lesley) stopped looking at cow ovaries for a living, and why the other (Pip) stopped trying to be a professional singer, and instead became the mundane, ordinary people you see before you...

Our latest reaction video features one of Pip's choices - which will be immediately apparent when we learn that the composer died over five hundred years ago. The phrase used of Josquin Des Prez by Martin Luther was "Other composers must do as the notes will. Josquin is the master of the notes and they do as he wills".

Amazing stuff.
