Sunday Worship: Stand Together

Stand Together

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, Stand Together

A service for Holocaust Memorial Day, live from St Peter's School, York.

Holocaust Memorial Day, which falls tomorrow, provides an opportunity for people in the UK to 'Stand Together' with those of differing faiths, ages, and ethnicities, within their communities. It's a chance to learn about genocide which has taken place not only within living memory, but over the centuries. York has played its own part in that, when in 1190 the entire Jewish population of the City - around 150 people - was massacred at the spot where Clifford's Tower now stands. Both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible provide examples of where people can stand together, despite their differences, and these - particularly the story from Isaiah of the wolf lying down with the lamb - provide a basis for the service. The chapel choir and William Miles-Kingston (one of the 2019 Radio 2 Young Choristers of the Year) lead the congregation in hymns including 'The God of Abraham praise', and 'Lord of all power'. The service is led by the chaplain, the Revd Daniel Jones. Director of Music: Paul Miles-Kingston. Producer: Ben Collingwood.
