Description
In discussion on Faith Forum with Chair of Glasgow Film Theatre and Islamic scholar Yahya Barry, and Rosa Murray from University of Edinburgh’s Education Department and a member of the city’s Catholic community. From summary on BBC site: 'Up for discussion are the canonisation of computer prodigy Carlo Acutis, who died of leukaemia at the age of 15 in 2006. This week the Pope announced he would become the Catholic church’s first millennial saint. Dubbed ‘God’s influencer’, the trio discuss what this canonisation means for the younger generation of Catholics and young people’s engagement in faith as a whole.
With this year’s Celebration Day just passed, the panel looks at the relatively new national day established to remember lost loved ones and acknowledge those that have shaped and inspired us.
And they discuss the moving and slightly eerie film, A House in Jerusalem, which explores memory, loss and trauma, against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.'
