Through Change and Chance

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, Through Change and Chance

Canon Angela Tilby and Canon Stephen Shipley reflect on life's changes and chances.

Canon Angela Tilby and Canon Stephen Shipley look to the start of the New Year and the Epiphany with a reflection on the changes and chances in their individual lives.

"Through change and chance He guideth, only good and only true."

Robert Bridge's translation of Joachim Neander's hymn "All my hope on God is founded" expresses faith and trust in God throughout the changes and chances of this fleeting world.

At a time of uncertainty, Canon Angela Tilby and Canon Stephen Shipley reflect on the changes and chances in their own lives; the personal challenges they have faced and how these have had an impact on their health, well-being, faith and vocation.

Through the writing of St Ignatius, Francis Thompson, John Henry Newman, Thomas Merton and GK Chesterton they explore the place of faith in unpredictable times. They focus on the central message of The Feast of the Epiphany, a revelation that transforms all knowledge and throws the world into a different perspective.

With music by Vaughan Williams, Messiaen, Schubert, George Gershwin and Peter Warlock, this conversation focuses of faith in times of trouble and finding God in all things.
