Kindness
Roy Jenkins explores the nature of human kindness with four people who have received and sometimes offered kindness to people in extraordinary circumstances.
"Kind words are like honey" the Bible tells us, "they are sweet for the soul and healthy for the body". But as Roy Jenkins discovers in this week's programme, kindness isn't always about saying nice things to people; true kindness can sometimes involve telling unpalatable facts. The programme shares the stories and insights of four very different people who’ve both received and sometimes offered kindness in extraordinary ways. Brenda Fogg started a charity for homeless people in Llandudno after the kindness she received from others in that town; Idris Baker is a consultant in palliative care, deeply aware of the need to offer kind words and to listen to his patients; disability theologian Jane Wallman-Girdlestone offers her perspective as a wheelchair and guide-dog user, whilst Wynford Ellis-Owen speaks about the importance of a moment of true kindness in helping him on his journey of recovery from alcohol addiction.
