Sunday Worship: The Time of a Queen

The Time of a Queen

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, The Time of a Queen

Led by the Revd Neil Gardner of Canongate Kirk, the Queen's parish church in Edinburgh.

Led by the Revd Neil Gardner, a domestic chaplain to the Queen and one of those who kept vigil beside her coffin in the Throne Room of the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

The Kirk of Canongate in Edinburgh was The Queen’s parish church whenever she was in residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Minister, Revd Neil Gardner, also a Domestic Chaplain to The Queen, was one of those who kept vigil in the Throne Room of the Palace when Her Late Majesty’s coffin had been brought from Balmoral.  He is joined by Rev Moira McDonald, a Chaplain-in-Ordinary to The Queen who also kept the vigil.
Neil reflects on the lessons that time teaches in a long life, and how The Queen’s Christian faith helped her see beyond human ideas of power and triumph, seeing the true meaning of Christ as the king of a whole life’s time and purpose.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
