Songs of Praise: Carlisle

Carlisle

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Carlisle

Claire McCollum meets Christians with stories of faith in the city of Carlisle in Cumbria.

Claire McCollum explores Carlisle’s Roman castle, meets two doctors dedicating their lives to Sierra Leone, and hears about a local vicar who was once an armed robber.

Claire McCollum visits the city of Carlisle in Cumbria, exploring its castle’s history dating back to AD72, and meets local Christians aiming to transform the lives of others at home and abroad. She discovers the medieval Christian carvings in the walls of Carlisle Castle and joins archaeologist Dr Humphrey Welfare, whose own parish church is built from the stone of Hadrian’s Wall. Claire also visits the restored St Aidan’s Church, which in 2015 was devastated by major floods in Carlisle.  

Radzi Chinyanganya meets the Rev. Matt Martinson, a former armed robber whose life was transformed by Christianity. He is now a Church of England vicar with a parish in Carlisle and regularly shares his faith on the streets. And married medic couple Thomas and Hannah explain their faith-led decision to work in the hospitals of Thomas’s homeland, Sierra Leone. 

Hymns and songs, several of which are from St Cuthbert’s Church in Carlisle, are At the Name of Jesus, As the Deer Pants for the Water, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), Give Me Oil in My Lamp, Breathe On Me Breath of God, Build My Life, and Blessed Assurance.
