Michael Comyn's Leap of Faith - listen before you leap
https://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-leap-of-faith/ 

On our programme on 7th February, Michael Comyn interviews Jonny Woods, a student from Antrim, who, with the encouragement of Dr Steve Holmes, Head of the Divinity School at St Andrew's University, has cracked the seemingly impenetrable code of 18th century Baptist founder, Andrew Fuller.

We also join the Irish-Chinese Wei family at home to celebrate Chinese New Year.

And Fr Michael O'Sullivan SJ talks about his role in facilitating Pope Francis' historic visit to the United Arab Emirates - the first visit by a pontiff to the Arabian peninsula in the 1400 year history of Islam.
