In a fast and frantic world it isn’t easy for the faithful to find the time and space for devotion. But what is day-to-day life like for those whose faith is not just a calling but a full-time occupation?

28-year-old Father Ross is a newly ordained Church in Wales priest who has gone straight from vicar academy to being responsible for the day-to-day pastoral care of a congregation that ranges in age from 80 to 8 months old.

24-year-old Siwan Reynolds is a bit of a religious magpie and takes her spiritual inspiration from several different religions. Having managed her debilitating epilepsy with the help of meditation, she now offers programmes to primary and secondary schools believing meditation can help alleviate everything from poor concentration to severe stress.

Finally, 29-year-old Hare Krishna monk Gopal Roy Das takes to the streets to try to persuade the good citizens of Aberystwyth that reading the Hindu holy book the Bhagavad Gita is the way to true spiritual enlightenment. Show less
