BBC Radio 4 - Faith on the Factory Floor, Flock in a Hard Hat

Alan Dein explores the role of the British Industrial Mission in a changing world of work.

For close to 80 years, the British Industrial Mission has sought to offer pastoral care to the workforce. Alan Dein explores their stories in a changing world of work.

The British Industrial Mission was forged in the steel mills of Sheffield in 1944 to reconnect workers with faith and reflection. Nearly 80 years on; when the world of work has changed so vastly, when human resources and well being are the buzz words, and the workforce has become ever more diverse- how do Industrial Chaplains listen and help ? Alan Dein explores past and present of work and faith with 4 chaplains in very different work places.
