Uitzenddatum: Jul 07, 2019

The Rev Kate Bottley is at Glastonbury, home of the world famous music festival, to meet its Christian founder Michael Eavis. Kate finds out how it all began, and how the Somerset farmer’s faith has been important to him throughout the growth of the event. Also, Kate finds out how this summer, for the very first time, the Quakers are pitching a tent on the Glastonbury site for festivalgoers to experience Quaker worship. She meets Jon, who’s heading up the Quaker team, to hear why a Christian denomination known for silent meditation has decided to come to one of the country’s loudest events. Plus there’s another chance to see when Josie d’Arby met Chris Sayburn, the head of worship for one of the biggest Christian gatherings in the UK, New Wine, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this summer. We also catch up with the man behind the plans to build a new British Christian landmark, the Wall of Answered Prayer, now that the winning design has been chosen. With hymns and songs come from across the UK.To God Be The Glory - Eastbourne Blinded By Your Grace - Stormzy at Glastonbury Festival Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind - St Macartin’s Cathedral, Enniskillen Holy, Holy, Holy - St Elizabeth’s Church, Reddish Spirit And Truth - New Wine Lord Of The Dance - Christ Church, Birkenhead Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven - Tenby Harbour
