Faith in Coventry

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Faith in Coventry

We visit Coventry, the UK City of Culture, to experience its 24-hour Faith event.

Claire McCollum is in Coventry, this year’s UK City of Culture and host of Faith, a 24-hour event bringing together the city’s different religions.

Claire McCollum is in Coventry, the UK City of Culture 2021, to experience Faith, a 24-hour live event featuring music, theatre and art co-produced by Coventry City of Culture Trust and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Claire visits Coventry Cathedral to discover why the city is the ideal setting to explore how Christians and other religions experience faith, both as individuals and as communities. She also meets renowned theatre designer Tom Piper to hear how, using 20km of blue ribbon, he has created an evocative visual representation of the ties between the different faith communities in the city. And we reflect on the plight of Afghan refugees as Gemma Hunt hears about one man’s journey from Afghanistan to a new life in Coventry.
