Carlisle

Claire McCollum explores Carlisle鈥檚 Roman castle, meets two doctors dedicating their lives to Sierra Leone, and hears about a local vicar who was once an armed robber.

Claire McCollum visits the city of Carlisle in Cumbria, exploring its castle鈥檚 history dating back to AD72, and meets local Christians aiming to transform the lives of others at home and abroad. She discovers the medieval Christian carvings in the walls of Carlisle Castle and joins archaeologist Dr Humphrey Welfare, whose own parish church is built from the stone of Hadrian鈥檚 Wall. Claire also visits the restored St Aidan鈥檚 Church, which in 2015 was devastated by major floods in Carlisle.

He is now a Church of England vicar with a parish in Carlisle and regularly shares his faith on the streets. And married medic couple Thomas and Hannah explain their faith-led decision to work in the hospitals of Thomas鈥檚 homeland, Sierra Leone.

Hymns and songs, several of which are from St Cuthbert鈥檚 Church in Carlisle, are At the Name of Jesus, As the Deer Pants for the Water, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), Give Me Oil in My Lamp, Breathe On Me Breath of God, Build My Life, and Blessed Assurance.
