Elaine Storkey

This instruction that women should be silent in the churches is given once by Paul in his letter to the church in the important Roman city of Corinth.

We've already been introduced to this city in Elaine Storkey's insightful contribution in Think Again piece nine.

So I'll not go over that contextual detail here.

One of the big issues Paul is addressing across the letter are divisions within the church, which he is trying hard to mend.

Forgive or just forget them? What is the best road to take? Well, we're joined this morning by Rabbi Jonathan Romain, theologian, Dr.

Elaine Storkey, and author and pastoral worker, Jim Deeds.

And if you have a pastoral story and a personal story, rather, to share with us this morning, do share it with us on 030 30 80 55 55.

And Jonathan, unfortunately, you have direct experience of a conflict within your family.

So I think for leaders, religious leaders, political leaders, all of us, when we do make that extra effort to reconcile, to forgive, we don't know the ripple effect that that has in creating a peaceful world.

Thank you all very much indeed.

Jim Deeds, Elaine Storkey and Jonathan.

September's always busy.
