Belts and bad news also united as they were beaten 21 as Holmes who was also leave them both in League 2 sorry in League One in the bottom 2 in League One All such as weather for today no it's not sunshine and glorious summer temperatures the wet weather continues I'm afraid not good at all points of travel much this morning spells of rain some heavy cool and turning increasingly windy staying blustery this afternoon will be much drier with some sunny periods and highs of 13 Celsius up heating on last night so I forget about you I've got my boots on so yeah I hate the incoming autumn winter the shorts are going back in the loft but there is unlikely in the tunnel now that is the likely end of the tunnel that. Actually is going to be brighter towards the beginning and the end of this week could be possibly maybe early twenty's but I am not promising too much snow good then the children back at school I need it to be nice so they can go outside at the weekend so yesterday they were like 2 caged beasts I say thank you Paul it is therefore when is possible right now your stories still feel on B.B.C. spirits asking about chats increase it see right now and well what we becoming more and more open about diversity about gender about sexuality does your local church play its role we've been talking about this story of Lizzie was just 14 when she took her own life 4 years ago in fields behind her local Pogba she was a committed Christian but believed she was gay and didn't know how to be both She fit her parents wouldn't on the stand and at church wouldn't accept his sexuality and her parents have now spoken to the B.B.C. For the fast time. About their daughter I gave you Lizabeth the middle name of joy and she was out your way. So when she passed away so abruptly so tragically out I left us. She beautiful carried her loving very poor soul from the moment you wake up to going to bed an hour. We're literally there is always there. She's always on your mind. So difficult to hear her grief in those voices Lizzie's father now says he wants churches to do what's right even if they're afraid of the effect him I have I'm sure some people think you know that the relationship they must have had with their daughter must have been Mr Breckon down it just wasn't I but. If it could happen to us it could easily happen to anyone else your daughter your son your grandchild and know the people struggle with inclusion. It does take courage but its ability to be able to do what's right. Even when you are afraid. Local Anglican churches teamed up with 11 others to become inclusive churches with the blessing of the Bishop of Manchester and joining me now to talk about the increase of sea change from little more of course but also well known activists throughout the K. Within the church being that when it comes to the community you saying you actually know Lizzie's parents quite well Jane I have got to know Kevin and Hilary is very well over the last year or so a wonderful couple of broken couple a very honest couple and as you heard Hilary say she she just had no idea that Lizzie was struggling with this and I think it was the shock of that and the issue there is that this is what I call a silent killer so many people struggle with it on their own they don't want to speak out even to the nearest and dearest because they they fear rejection and we have to break that silence both as friends as fam. Only and most importantly in church places where people think it's a to boot talk about this and where it's really key that we make it clear that you can be loved by God and be gay Well is it since there's always always so many different interpretations of the Bible and some people thinking it's you know it sinful it's not right I mean how do you sort of make that switch to suddenly go well hang on a minute everything is fine and whatever you thought about the Church of the past and how they feel about the L G B T community that is change I mean it's not a sort of overnight switching on and but it is something that we have to journey on because the lives are too many young people are at risk and I believe if you don't believe that it's possible to be gay and Christian then you need to make that clear and if you actually believe you are not sure or I think this is something we need to you know we want to become an inclusive church say it's what I keep coming back to it's the silence on the issue that really causes so much pain but I do hope people will listen with their hearts to what's happened Lizzie's by no means alone and sadly we see very high levels of self harm of depression of self hate and then even suicide amongst the L.G.B. To youth and indeed to adults to not just young people's problems it's a safeguarding issue and we really do need I think to be clear about the unconditional love of God If we're Christian and actually even trying work out what that means in practice and so you say that this sign is I mean does that mean. Then so I mean you know the state coming out of that sun is making noise How would you like that noise to be made well holding events wonderful and I but that's quite a long way down the road for most people I think just even making a statement either on or on the church's website on it's open on its notice board or even from the front on a Sunday morning but all are welcome independent of their race their background their sexuality or their gender just something as simple as that allows people within a congregation to know that they're excepted. And then actually if it isn't as you start looking at it there are plenty of books out there Marcus Greene who's a vicar here in Oxford has just published an excellent book called The possibility of difference and that's a book that many churches can use and read into my own book journeys in grace and true for just love there are many books out there which often form a great basis for bible studies for Lent work and allow the conversation to happen it's amazing it's for to build a silence that's actually what's caused the problem for too long it's always a pleasure to have you on Jet I know you've got to run away but I've got another guest here with me as well on a Sullivan he's currently doing National Citizen Service to spread awareness of the community through oxygen tanks coming in and. So you tell me exactly what you are up to so basically we in the summer had. Me and my friend I love our friend on a volunteer program called and C.S. Where we decided that we wanted to raise awareness for G.B.T. And Whitney so we hosted some of answer that but now that it's over we want to do more things to basically do that so now we're getting involved in schools maybe off school or getting involved in like a Whitney pride and stuff like that but we just want to keep doing more from now so you had me talking to Jane there about the idea of you know going into church doing an event in church so is it like that with you yeah yeah. It would that be a weird thing in your mind to think we'll go to the church you will do an event there no Ideally that would be something that was really nice There's never THIS far as I'm aware I'm not part of the church myself but from what I've heard there's never been any issues with churches in our town but it's just about like spreading the fact is accepted and it is OK to be Christian I am part of the. Community so working with pride I mean obviously pride something a lot of people know about outside of pride what kind of things are you guys trying to do is events is it blogs is it other stuff I mean how are you trying to raise awareness the moment I'm kind of focusing on getting our school to do some things are just at 64 and I've been having conversations with our head of 6th form about maybe having like a group in our school. Kids who feel afraid to come out to their friends and just like a safe space for them to talk about it because I I know how it feels and I've I've experienced it for my friends like having issues with it and stuff and I just think I would be a really nice thing for younger children to be able to just talk about their problems and just have an insight into it yeah because I mean from Lizzie's story that we were hearing earlier on I mean if this is something that isn't talked about lottery it really can go to dangerous places can it yeah. Well as I said before you need to make it clear that it's OK some people unfortunately do have parents that feel like they can. Talk to and maybe they're in communities they feel like they can't talk to so it's important to give especially much younger people a space where they can be themselves where they can explore their identity without feeling like they're going to get in trouble for it because it's I mean the strange thing generations I mean the kind of you know my generation and down I would say it's quite often the opinion not always but quite often the opinion that. Your friends or your friends or your family your family and it doesn't really matter unless this is some kind of major crime being committed or something you know everyone is equal but it's not always the same for other generations is it yeah definitely sometimes I do. We had an event at Whitney music festival during N.C.S. And I do that and as an example so we had instances where children would come running over to our store because it's got rain birth and a huge teddy and sweets is how brazen happy yeah it was so lovely and then we'd have the parents like dragging the child away as soon as they saw what it was about and that have been like a couple times and that was pretty pretty odd to watch for us so yeah it was an interesting because of the strictly launch last night Dr round she was big on C.B.S. On C.B.S. Was on and we let the boys step a little bit late to watch it my children he said just out the pieces does Dr Raj have a wife and I was like well I said No I said he doesn't have a husband either but if he did get married he would have a husband and he went and I said you know just like our friends and uncle hacky you know some people are married to girls and some people are married to boys and that's just the way it is and he went back to his popcorn yeah completely on both the by that situation you know do you are you hopeful that that we can get somewhere like that it's close off and I don't know I mean it's not easy just to teach children from a young age that that's a normal thing. Parents aren't doing that is why issues from because people aren't learning that it's something that should be accepted so they're not understanding it when they come into my life and I you guys hopefully you might This is maybe an area you might want to go on to work can I mean you seem to be kind of enjoying what you're doing right now yeah I'm really really enjoying it I'm not really sure where it could lead to but I'm really excited to see because I'm really enjoying it at the moment like that and it's a really cool experience and we're very you know I you know I get I'm not sure exactly where it will lead but I really want to continue and try and get it as far as possible. Doing great work thank you so much for coming on this morning how do you know our pleasure to have you all if you want to join the conversation as always 81 of 3.

So it is B.B.C. Radio Oxford and I got the chance to do something pretty exciting this week ahead to the museum to check out their new spellbound exhibition it's about magic and rituals and witchcraft and later on you'll be able to hear a full on top after half past 8 but I thought give you a little tease of this exhibition which is exploring the history of magic over 8 centuries in Oxford I had a little peek at it with director of the ash money a museum zoster this. Was so you know we can make above blows one of the most fantastic things about this writing is how you play with where things are placed so you come into what is basically a little dark archway with a stone but look above and you have shoes and. So we're looking up a chimney and if one thinks it's most vulnerable place it's always like Christmas comes down that it's also a web which is can come down and so if you're going to protect your house you would need to protect the windows the doors but above all the chimney and so in this particular chimney we have bones we have metal metal was always seen as a tool to use against which but perhaps most sinisterly else strangely of all we have more than one example of animal halts pierced through with the warden's and metal spike that when there is stuff it like at Christmas our inch Yes there's a sheep's up there and this is a belief here and this is a practice that is actually surprisingly late it's 18th century it's not many people it's an 18th century practice but it's based on the idea that if you or. If they start dying. And one blames all suspects that this is about spells being cost then that which will leave some of her self. She has code and side then if you take the whole lot and we have descriptions of these rituals all the doors are sealed the key holds the seal to make sure that the remaining space in your house up here will haul off the halter of the animal that has been cut and then you must spikes through it and thereby doing harm to the witch and then you place up in the chimney which is where these were discovered in chimneys in different houses and that will prevent the witch from reentry and you'll have. To have a look at the letter and the confession. say this is another way of bringing to life men when the documents self is extraordinary gets a mug print more this which with the croll streets a literate this went just hearing the but her and this confession and and swades this apology because the evil people leave self that have but it is a very it's a very moving so touching but takes one right to the reality all the should crazy and persecution so all of the 16th and 17th centrica 8 as a fascinating exhibition spellbound at the after off the news in weather and hours time his the stylistics now had lines on the way next let's get the latest. Sports and weather on the way. From. Supporting the idea have been submitted to. Labor conference which gets underway in Liverpool this morning the owners of 2nd homes meanwhile would be subject to a new tax on the plans announced by Labor the levy would be you based on the value of the property and would on average amounts of more than $3000.00 pounds in the money would be used to tackle homelessness discussing behavior that's how police have described the vandalism of a statue of soldiers still awaiting Carsten it was provided by the Royal British Legion to commemorate those who died in World War One. A horse escaped with just minor injuries after a trailer broken smashed into a tree in castings than fire crews from killings and would stop work for 2 hours to free the animal after the towbar on
