BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, The impact of a life

A service in celebration of the history and current life of St Philip's Church in Salford

Celebrating the work of Salford war time priest Canon Peter Green and his impact on a deprived community - and the regeneration of the church and community today.

Canon Peter Green was the vicar at St. Philip's, Salford between 1910-50 throughout both World Wars and was a revolutionary for his time. Following Jesus' example, he served the local community, visited women's refuges, spoke out against social injustice and was renowned for his sermons. The current vicar of St Philip's, Rev Gareth Robinson will explore the impact of Canon Peter Green's legacy amidst the current regeneration of the Parish, and considers what the good news of Jesus means for the community today. The music will be provided by locally based Christian indie worship band Rivers & Robots reflecting the contemporary style of worship the church now enjoys. The producer is Miriam Williamson.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
