Data emisji: Cze 30, 2019

On 1st July 1969, a 20-year-old Prince Charles was formally invested with the title The Prince of Wales in Caernarfon Castle. It was an event watched by a worldwide audience of half a billion people. 50 years on, Katherine Jenkins returns to the historic castle to reflect on that momentous occasion and to explore the rich religious history of North Wales, including discovering a 700-year-old book of worship preserved in Bangor University. Along the coast from Caernarfon, local Christian Jay Lusted shares how his faith has helped him to accept his physical disability. Born with a rare form of dwarfism, he explains how he believes God made him for a purpose and helped him realise his dreams of becoming an actor and having a family of his own. Pam Rhodes explores a subject close to Prince Charles’s heart today – the plight of persecuted Christians. She reflects on a special service she attended with Prince Charles in Westminster Abbey which highlighted the suffering and challenges faced by many Christians. She then meets Archbishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church and a Christian family who fled Pakistan to hear first-hand accounts of religious persecution. With hymns and worship songs from across Wales.
