FUBF will return with the usual format in the New Year, with some exciting guests!

For now, however, here is the first of four bonus reflections for the period of Advent. 

I have invited some of my guests from this past year to record their own reflections for each of the four weeks of Advent on the themes of Hope, Peace, Love and Joy.

This first episode is with me - Jude - on the theme of Hope.  Sections and timings are as follows

Preamble and introduction

5:35  Music - my version of Veni Veni Emmanuel 

7:00 Poetry - ' O Come O Come Emmanuel' by Malcolm Guite

9:30 Reflection - on misguided use of scripture and the idea of 'mystical' hope.

16:30  Short Guided Meditation
