There’s a slightly different feel to November’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast. As well as being a month of remembrance and prayer for those who have died, both on our parish November lists and in the World Wars and other conflicts, it’s also a time when the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales […]
In this episode of At the Foot of the Cross, Abbot Hugh Allan joins us again as we discuss the Gaza peace deal and the way forward for the Holy Land. Abbot Hugh also reflects on Pope Leo’s first Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi Te, and how we can best serve the poor, marginalised and vulnerable people […]
Welcome to the first podcast of the re-launched At the Foot of the Cross series, bringing you the latest from the Secretariat of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. The first point of order is to offer an apology to our regular listeners. At the Foot of the Cross experienced a hiatus after […]
Our summer ‘At the Foot of the Cross’ is very much a pilgrimage podcast. So whether you’re staying at home or travelling abroad, there’s always time to walk with the Lord and deepen your faith. Canon Chris Thomas, General Secretary here at the Bishops’ Conference, joins us to welcome a newly-installed Bishop for Hexham and […]
March’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast has somehow found its way into the middle of the month where it should be. As such, our Director of Mission and regular guest Abbot Hugh Allan has the opportunity to offer a few words on Laetare Sunday (15 March). Laetare is Latin for ‘rejoice’ and on […]
For February’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast, we welcome back Abbot Hugh Allan, our Director of Mission. Abbot Hugh discusses Lent and the three pillars that prop up our 40-day journey to get closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ – prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We also reflect on the Installation of Archbishop Richard Moth, […]
Sneaking in on the penultimate day of January is the first At the Foot of the Cross podcast of 2026. Ordinarily we’d have Abbot Hugh Allan, our Director of Mission, in the studio to discuss the latest from the secretariat of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, but unfortunately he’s on the road […]
At the Foot of the Cross returns with a new episode as we enter the autumn months, and October’s podcast takes on a subject that is literally life or death. On Wednesday, 16 October, the House of Commons heard the first reading of a new bill on assisted suicide tabled by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater. […]
As things begin to quieten down for a month or so, it’s time for a Summer At the Foot of the Cross podcast. Canon Christopher Thomas, our General Secretary and regular studio guest, is in the chair to talk to us about what’s currently on the slate at the Secretariat of the Bishops’ Conference. Since […]
The only place to start with June’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast is to offer an apology. After two months of radio silence, we return with an episode that looks back over April and May and forward into June. At least it’s packed with audio clips to keep you engaged! The thread running […]
It’s an early Lent this year and as such, the focus of February’s At the Foot of the Cross is very much on the three pillars of the season – prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Canon Christopher Thomas, our General Secretary, joins us to talk about what’s crossing his desk at the Secretariat of the Bishops’ […]
The first At the Foot of the Cross podcast of 2024 has a very ecumenical flavour to it. That is a word that can confuse rather than clarify so what we’re discussing today is dialogue and Christian unity. There are many reasons for this. Firstly we have the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, from […]
The November 2023 episode of At the Foot of the Cross has crept in on the very last day of the month. The task set for our General Secretary, Canon Chris Thomas, is to bridge the gap from the Feast of Christ the King to the wonderful season of Advent – that sacred time before […]
October’s At the Foot of the Cross comes out as we approach the end of the month so we felt it appropriate to look ahead to November and the month of the Holy Souls when we pray for and remember our loved ones and friends who have died. Canon Christopher Thomas, General Secretary of the […]
Mission and good custodianship are the order of the day for this ‘At the Foot of the Cross’ – the first after the summer break. Canon Christopher Thomas, our General Secretary, rather skilfully threads the ‘mission’ topics of the day through this podcast. We talk about two forthcoming documents from Pope Francis. An Exhortation on […]
June’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast is just creeping in at the end of the month. It’s a ‘mea culpa’ from the presenter who has been away for a few weeks. This is very much a programme of accompaniment and encounter – very apt words for the synodal pathway we find ourselves treading. […]
The mission of the Church, how we share our faith with others and the need to communicate clearly and truthfully from the heart – these are the over-arching themes of our At the Foot of the Cross podcast. Know who you’re speaking to, be human, be relational – all aspects of good communication modelled by […]
Holy Week is a very sacred time for us as we follow Christ from his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem to the foot of the Cross – the name of this very podcast – as sorrowful bystanders to His Passion. On Easter Sunday, we roll back the stone of the empty tomb and share in the […]
We’ve held our February podcast back a week so we can justly and solemnly mark the tragedy of the one-year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski, the Eparchial Bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the UK gives us an extended interview as we remember all those who have died and […]
A new year, a new ‘At the Foot of the Cross’ podcast. Much has happened since we were last with you. A prayerful focus on the last days of Advent and the O Antiphons was followed by the joy of the Word Made Flesh – the coming of Christ at Christmas. That, in turn, was […]
