Sowing in a time of uncertainty

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, Sowing in a time of uncertainty

A service from South Wales Baptist College with Rev Dr Rosa Hunt and Rev Dr Craig Gardiner

A service from South Wales Baptist College led by Rev Dr Craig Gardiner, with a reflection on the parable of the sower from College co-principal Rev Dr Rosa Hunt.

The parable of the sower is one of Jesus' best known stories - and one which speaks especially clearly to a time of uncertainty. Seeds are sown into an unknown future, and the conditions in which they will grow are something we can't always predict. As the end of a most unusual term approaches this year students, pupils and teachers across the UK will be wondering just what kind of fruit may lie ahead. 

Rev Dr Rosa Hunt, co-principal of the South Wales Baptist College reflects on the message Jesus parable offers today in a service led by Rev Dr Craig Gardiner and including contributions from staff and students at the College.

The music used in the service was recorded prior to lockdown or is commercially available and is as follows:

Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer (Cardiff Polyphonic Choir, BBC recording) 
Unless A Grain of Wheat (Bernadette Farrell, OCP 10827 Tr 11)
Beneath The Tree Of Life (Marty Haugen, Gia CD 463 Tr 1)
Brother Sister Let Me Serve You (Welsh Chamber Singers, BBC recording)
Now The Green Blade Riseth (Liverpool Cathedral Choir, Priory PRCD1180 Tr 15)
It Is Well With My Soul (National Youth Choir of Wales, BBC recording)

Producer: Dominic Jewel.
