Faith and Fun

Duration: 34 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HD

The Rev Kate Bottley visits Noah’s Ark Farm Zoo in Bristol to hear how the Christian faith of many of its staff impacts their work. Owner Larry Bush tells Kate how the zoo started as a Christian-run farm, and she helps clear up some of the 150kg of daily elephant dung! The zoo’s curator Chris Wilkinson explains what it is like to live with his family on site, and his daughters describe their favourite animals.

Kate also recalls fun moments from the series, including her ride down a helter skelter in Norwich Cathedral and JB Gill’s visit to a Christian surfing community at Fistral Beach in Cornwall. Hymns old and new include O When the Saints, All Creatures of Our God and King, All My Hope on God Is Founded, and When We All Get to Heaven. The worship team from Soul Survivor, led by Tom Smith, perform Never Gonna Stop Singing, duo Our Atlantic Roots sing Build My Life, and gospel choir IDMC perform Lord I Lift Your Name on High.
