A journey in Wales written and presented by Donald Allchin. Wales often conjures up images of coalmines and rugby, daffodils and leeks, hymns and harps. For
Donald Allchin, a very English Englishman and a canon of Canterbury Cathedral, discovering Wales and the Welsh language has been to discover a scarcely known part of our Christian heritage. From the Celtic centuries, through the Methodist revival and to Welsh poets of this century he detects, despite the outward differences, a common experience of the nearness of eternity.
Each journey to Wales confirms for him the reality that the universe is not alien and hostile, that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. By their lives of faith and their prayers today they affirm that, in God, man is no longer a stranger.
