God's Grace Is Freely Given

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, God's Grace Is Freely Given

The fifth in a Lent series exploring what it means to be made in God's image.

A service from Leicester Cathedral to mark the reinterment of King Richard III, and the fifth in a Lent series based on Archbishop Desmond Tutu's book In God's Hands.

'God's Grace Is Freely Given'. The fifth in a series of Lent services, based on this year's Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book - Desmond Tutu's, 'In God's Hands'. As Leicester Cathedral prepares to lay to rest the mortal remains of King Richard III, the service explores how - through Adam - sin and death came into the world through one man; but it is also through one man - Jesus Christ - that the free gift of grace is given for all to gain eternal life. Worship is led by the Dean, The Very Revd David Monteith, the preacher is the Bishop of Leicester, the Rt Revd Tim Stevens. Young singers from Leicester Cathedral's choirs are directed by Christopher Johns and the producer is Rowan Morton-Gledhill. Lent resources for individuals and groups complementing the programmes are available on the Sunday Worship web pages.
