St Paul’s Cathedral
Katherine is shown the ‘heavenly design’ of St Paul’s Cathedral by architect Niall McLaughlin. 350 years since Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned to design its building, Niall explains to Katherine why he, and the cathedral, inspire so many people.   

Zero Carbon Vicarage
The Rev Dr Giles and Kate Kendall live in a Zero Carbon Vicarage in the Diocese of Worcester. It has been designed and project-led by Christians including Surveyor Mark Wild. They each explain how the features of the house make it completely sustainable, how the building of it was net-carbon-neutral, and why they believe it’s important for Christians to be at the forefront of looking after the environment. 

The Dome of St Paul’s
The Dean of St Paul’s, The Very Rev. Dr David Ison, tells Katherine how in the 1920s the Cathedral was served with a dangerous structures notice which threatened the future of the dome with immediate effect. It was strengthened with pillars, the power of which meant it survived the Blitz during the Second World War.  The Dean also describes how he sees God at work in the stories of grace and mercy amongst those who visit and work at the Cathedral.

Christian Arts Community
Josie d’Arby meets Ally Gordon and other artists from Morphé Arts, a collective of Christians who support one another in artistic endeavours. Each artist and performer explains how having the group has sustained them through challenges, and helped others understand the connection between faith and art. 

Jewellery Designer
Katherine meets Ruth Chipperfield, jewellery designer whose work is inspired by Christian architecture. She makes lace patterns, the designs for which are then made into pieces of jewellery. She tells Katherine how her three-year illness led her to rely on God and how the transformation of lace into jewellery is a metaphor for the transformation of her own Christian life.
