Young People In Lockdown

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, Young People In Lockdown

With the UK’s first bespoke ecumenical Christian community serving young people.

This third Sunday of Lent we focus on young people in lockdown. Led by Jamie Cutteridge from the UK’s first bespoke ecumenical Christian community serving young people.

Throughout the pandemic children and young people across the UK have faced increased pressures, worries and difficulties – from anxiety over exams and future employment, to dealing with grief, to increased concerns for the climate, or living with mental health illnesses. In Norfolk, a group of Christian youth workers have come together to transform the site of a 150 year old convent into the UK’s first bespoke ecumenical Christian community focused on young people. One of the community’s leaders, Jamie Cutteridge, shares why he believes loving and serving our young people must be a priority amongst the church, especially in this current season. The community’s newly appointed dean, Rev. Canon Jutta Brueck, preaches on the spirit speaking through young people. We also hear from a couple of teenagers about their experiences in lockdown and how they have navigated their faith in such challenging times. With prayers and readings from Christian youth workers from across the UK. Preacher: Rev. Canon Jutta Brueck  Producer: Jessie Bland
