S2023 E24 Katherine Jenkins's Favourite Moments
本集简介

Katherine Jenkins visits Syon House in west London to discover its rich Christian history and to look back on some of her favourite moments on Songs of Praise.

In the grounds of Syon House by the Thames, Katherine hears about the enormous medieval abbey that once stood on the site and the radical community of priests and nuns that lived there.

Katherine recalls her trip to Caldey Island off the coast of south Wales, one of Britain's most ancient holy sites where one of the monks, Brother David, tells her about the spiritual heritage of the island, which stretches back over 1,400 years.

There is another chance to see Katherine's visit to the chapels within the iconic Tower of London when she met the first female Beefeater. Then, from the ancient to the modern, Katherine recalls her time in the thriving Gas Street Church in Birmingham, home to a congregation of over 1,000 people.

With music from across the UK, including Katherine's favourite hymns and an exclusive performance from Hollywood star Luke Evans.

Faith and Philanthropy

Aled Jones travels to the garden suburb of Bournville to explore the faith and philanthropy of the Cadbury family, whose Quaker beliefs inspired the design of their revolutionary factory village. Aled meets heritage manager Daniel Callicott and takes a tour of the original workers' houses and their long and productive gardens, designed to encourage healthy living and to contrast with the squalid inner-city Victorian workhouses of the time. Along the way, Aled meets Caroline Cadbury, the great-granddaughter of the co-founder of Bournville, George Cadbury, and finds out why she believes Quakerism created a spirit of peace and tranquillity.

As well as housing, the family invested in schools, recreational centres and places of worship, including a stunning Serbian Orthodox church, funded in part by the Cadburys for Serbian workers, many of whom were World War II refugees. Aled speaks to Natasha and her grandmother Biserka, a former refugee, about what it meant to the community to have their very own Orthodox church – and the first ever in the UK – built in Bournville.

Also, James Lusted meets David Stretton-Downes, a Christian entrepreneur and creator of Bobbie's Brownies, a start-up founded with the vision to help elevate children out of poverty. They get stuck into making a brownie tray as David tells James about the motivation behind his philanthropic enterprise, viewing his business as an opportunity to help others and his belief that everyone can practise mission work in their everyday lives.
