The Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury charts her walk with God and with Covid-19.

The Revd Dr Isabelle Hamley, chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, charts her walk with God and with Covid-19. Producer: Andrew Earis.

The Rev Dr Isabelle Hamley, Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury charts her walk with God and with Covid-19. In a recent Thought for the Day on Radio 4 Dr Hamley spelt out the devastating effects Covid-19 has had on her personally, an early sufferer from the disease, referring to the biblical book of Job. "Job goes from being incredibly fortunate to losing everything, his wealth his loved ones, his health." In this service the Archbishop's Chaplain will reflect on the story in Mark’s Gospel, Chapter 5, of a child restored to life and a woman healed. It’s a story of two halves, one, a story of urgency, of crisis, of acute need. The other, a story of chronic pain and illness, always present but never urgent. Producer: Andrew Earis.
