BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, A Light Shines in the Darkness

Amanda Mukwashi is the preacher in a service from Croydon Seventh Day Adventist Church.

A service on hope and renewal from Croydon Seventh Day Adventist Church with preacher Amanda Mukwashi of Christian Aid. The SDA Gospel Choir is directed by Ken Burton.

At the beginning of a new year, people often look to the hopes they have for themselves, their homes and their communities. In this service of hope and renewal from Croydon Seventh Day Adventist Church, Amanda Mukwashi, Chief Executive of Christian Aid, explores the idea of God doing a "new thing", as described by the prophet Isaiah. Amanda reflects on what this means for people living in conflict and abject poverty around the world. What does dignity, equality and justice look like in situations of internal displacement, violence, economic injustice and humanitarian disasters? What does it mean for the light of Christ to shine in the darkness?  The service is led by David Billet and music comes from the SDA Gospel Choir directed by Ken Burton.

Producer: Katharine Longworth
