Sunday Worship: A Still Small Voice in Snowdonia

A Still Small Voice in Snowdonia

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, A Still Small Voice in Snowdonia

Bishop Mary Stallard reflects on life's physical and spiritual journeys from Snowdonia.

In the third of four programmes marking the BBC's centenary, Bishop Mary Stallard reflects on life's physical and spiritual journeys from Snowdon, Wales's highest peak.

The third of four programmes of pilgrimage from the highest peaks of the UK’s nations, marking the BBC's Centenary.

Snowdon attracts over half a million climbers annually, seeking to scale its summit. Some pilgrims pursue adventure or a fitness challenge, while others seek to imbibe the purity of the mountain air and picturesque views of the rugged North Wales landscape.  From Nant Peris in the foothills of Snowdon, Mary Stallard, Assistant Bishop in Bangor, treads the tracks of Wales’s highest peak.  Reflecting on the Prophet Elijah’s ascent to Mount Horeb, Bishop Mary explores life’s own climbs, both physical and spiritual, with prayers and a blessing from the Most Rev'd Andrew John, Archbishop of Wales.  Music includes the sound of the Welsh harp and traditional Welsh hymn tunes, sung by members of Bangor Cathedral Choir.
