BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, A Passion for Hospitality - I was in prison

On Passion Sunday - from the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London.

On Passion Sunday the service comes from the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London, and takes as its theme ‘I was in prison’.

During Lent Sunday Worship is considering how, as the nation emerges from a long period of isolation, we can better reach out both to neighbour and stranger, and especially to the most marginalised and disadvantaged. On Passion Sunday the service comes from the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London, and takes as its theme ‘I was in prison’. For centuries the Tower of London was the most notorious prison in the UK; hundreds of people were imprisoned within its walls, including Elizabeth I, Guy Fawkes, Anne Boleyn and the Kray twins. Major Alison Stone from the Salvation Army, and Chaplain at HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs, preaches on the role of prison ministry, and former MP Jonathan Aitken describes how important visits from friends and loved ones were to him whilst serving a sentence following his conviction for perjury. The service is led by the Chaplain of the Chapel, The Reverend Canon Roger Hall, with music from the Chapel choir. Director of Music: Colm Carey. Organist: Christian Wilson. Producer: Ben Collingwood.
