Praying the Keeills Week has started and between now and Saturday 25 May, there's a daily programme of walks - both long and short - an evening talk, a coach trip - and even the blessing of the Peel Lifeboat! Catherine Wareing explains that this week is a chance to visit some of the Island's keeill sites - the ruined but sacred chapels dotted around the Manx landscape - to enjoy their beauty, soak up their atmosphere, and learn a little of their history. And walk leader Phil Craine adds a Bible passage that inspires him at this time, and a reflection by an Australian writer. All are welcome

The Venerable Patricia Hillas and her husband Andrew were on the Island last Thursday, for the announcement that she is to be the next Bishop of Sodor and Man - successor to the Rt Rev'd Peter Eagles who retired in October last year. On the programme this morning, we share extracts from her first interview with Manx Radio's News Journalist Beth Espey - which gives some clear indications of her priorities - including her enthusiasm for becoming a real part of Island life, and getting to know - and be known by - people of all faiths and none.

There's music for Pentecost from Keith and Krystin Getty, our own Curjin Cooidjak, and Simeon Wood

Plus notice board news too - items for inclusion can be emailed to judithley@manxradio.com
