BBC Radio 4 - Something Understood, Rising from the Ashes

Mark Tully discusses the meaning of Resurrection, in a programme about moving on.

Mark Tully discusses forgiveness of sin, overcoming obstacles and learning to move on. In conversation with Bishop of Bradford, Nick Baines, he discusses the Resurrection.

This Easter edition of Something Understood examines some of the themes associated with the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, and asks what we can learn from them today. 

The forgiveness of sin, overcoming great obstacles and learning to move on are all ideas represented in the story of Easter. 

Mark Tully asks whether we can learn from the Easter narrative only on a symbolic level or whether it offers us lessons of a more practical or physical kind. He discusses the art of rediscovering the story of Easter week with Bishop of Bradford, Nick Baines, and a mix of readings and music.

The readers are Monica Dolan and Mark Quartley.
