Claire McCollum explores stories of fossils, faith and science along the beautiful Jurassic Coast that spans 95 miles of Devon and Dorset and reveals 185 million years of history.
In Lyme Regis, Claire hears the story of Mary Anning, the 19th-century Christian fossil hunter who revolutionised palaeontology. Following in Mary鈥檚 footsteps, Claire joins a fossil walk along Lyme Regis beach with renowned botanist Sir Ghillean Prance to hear how science and faith can live in harmony.
Gemma Hunt meets a geologist whose childhood holidays on the Jurassic Coast inspired her vital work on climate change. She speaks about the importance of studying the natural world and about feeling the presence of God on expeditions to the wilderness of Antarctica.
And the first Songs of Praise congregation in more than 18 months sings favourite hymns by the seaside in Swanage.
