    Jan 25 2025

    In the 1980s, the Rev Useni Sibanda flew home from his UK studies to Zimbabwe, not long after it achieved independence. A civil war was raging, and inflation was rampant. You could easily hand over a trillion dollar note for just one egg. Now Useni works with the Zimbabwe Christian Alliance, a Christian advocacy organisation addressing social, political, economic and humanitarian issues affecting the country's poor and vulnerable communities.

  • An Opportunity to Heal
    Nov 30 2024

    The former UTV journalist Jude Hill now works in the charity sector, but still makes time to produce and present her own ground-breaking podcast about peace and reconciliation. Diane and Will hear all about the imminent new series of "Peace by Piece", as well as understanding the faith motivation that made a teenage girl from a County Antrim village move to an interface area of Belfast and start to help people tell their own stories in their own way.
