Songs of Praise: Caring for Creation

Caring for Creation

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Caring for Creation

To celebrate harvest, Aled Jones meets Christians caring for creation in East Anglia.

To celebrate harvest season, Aled Jones is discovering what the annual celebration means to Christians in East Anglia, and he discusses the importance of caring for creation.

To mark the harvest season, Aled Jones is in East Anglia to find out what the annual celebration means to local Christians and to talk about the importance of caring for creation. He finds out all about ‘wool churches’ at Holy Trinity in Long Melford, and learns about the links between Christianity and agriculture. 

Parishioner Sally McDonald tells Aled about the fundraising drive she pioneered to have the magnificent stained-glass windows in the church restored. Laura Wright talks to Christian farmer John Pawsey, who, after four generations of traditional farming, decided to make his family business organic; and Aled visits Christian-run nature reserve Foxearth Meadows to hear about the transformative power of God’s creation. 

In this time of celebration of feast and bounty, we also reflect on those who are struggling: Charlotte Webb tells her story of overcoming hardship and finding faith through Christian organisation Lightwave. Having come to Lightwave for help with food, Charlotte found trust and support and was able to build a relationship with Jesus, turning her life around for the better. 

We have hymns and music from Holy Trinity Church in Long Melford, The Priory in Hertfordshire and Nettwood Farm in the Mendip Hills.
