Songs of Praise: Love Thy Neighbour

Love Thy Neighbour

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Love Thy Neighbour

Aled Jones explores Jesus's teaching, Love Thy Neighbour, on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

Aled Jones is on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent exploring its history and seeing how Jesus' teaching, Love Thy Neighbour, is being put into action in the community.

Aled Jones explores one of Jesus's best-known teachings Love Thy Neighbour and discovers how it is being put into action on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.  

Aled meets local historians to discover Sheppey's amazing hidden heritage - the island was the cradle of British aviation with an intrepid group of pioneers, led by the Short Brothers, establishing themselves on the island in the early 1900s. It also has a rich maritime history having maintained a dockyard of great strategic importance for over 300 years.

Students from the local high school get Aled involved in their award-winning Dementia Cafe, where residents of local care homes are invited for afternoon tea, entertainment and conversation, all organised and performed by the teenagers.

The Rev Cindy Kent tells Aled about moving to the island and the great sense of community she has found there. She also reflects on her pop star past as the lead singer of the group The Settlers in the 1960s and 70s. 

And JB Gill visits Sheerness Youth Club, where one youth worker has been serving the young people of Sheppey for nearly 60 years!

With hymns and songs from across the UK to celebrate the love of God and the Christian call to love our neighbour.

Music:
Love Divine from St Asaph Cathedral
I, the Lord of Sea and Sky from St Patrick's Church, Dungannon
Make Me a Channel of Your Peace from St James the Greater, Leicester
I Have Decided to Follow Jesus from Hackney Empire
Once Again from Albert Hall, Nottingham
