Pentecost Sunday
On Pentecost Sunday, Sean Fletcher learns about monastic life at the Community of the Resurrection in West Yorkshire, and Pam Rhodes meets an ultra-marathon runner.
On Pentecost Sunday, Sean Fletcher learns about life in a monastery at the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. He meets older and younger brothers who have committed themselves to a simple life of daily devotion and prayer. Sean discovers more about the story of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit empowered the first Christians to share their faith 2,000 years ago.
Also in the programme, Pam Rhodes joins musician Pete James and actor Martha Shrimpton, who have helped to create Cheeky Pandas, a cartoon series teaching children about the Bible. Ultra-marathon runner Rohan Kallicharan explains how a simple but profound encounter brought him a life-giving faith in Jesus, enabling him to overcome major mental health battles.
Hymns and songs with a Pentecost theme come from across the country: Breathe on Me Breath of God, Come Down O Love Divine, The Lion and the Lamb, What a Beautiful Name, One More Step, and O Thou Who Camest from Above. Worship leader Philippa Hanna also performs a new song, Trust.
