Pentecost

Duration: 34 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland

The Rev Kate Bottley celebrates Pentecost Sunday, the birthday of the Church. The bishop of Dover, the Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, reveals the meaning and relevance of Pentecost, and we revisit stories that explore the themes of this special day, including transformation. JB Gill meets a tree surgeon who revealed how his faith helped him to overcome drug addiction. Kate visits Loch Leven in Kinross and finds out why the wild goose is a symbol of the Holy Spirit in Celtic Christianity, and there’s another opportunity to hear American jazz singer Gregory Porter talk about his faith and music.

With hymns from around the country. Recorded before church buildings closed.
