BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, God's Justice: A place to live

A service reflecting on the issue of homelessness and Jesus's humble beginnings.

A service reflecting on homelessness and Jesus's humble beginnings, with the AMC Gospel Choir at Acocks Green Church of God of Prophecy.

Continuing Sunday Worship's theme of 'Justice' for advent, this service reflects on the issue of homelessness.
Shermara Fletcher from Churches Together in England hosts a service at her home church, in Acocks Green, Birmingham to acknowledge the work the church does for those experiencing homelessness. Pastor Michael Bailey from the Church of God of Prophecy runs a homeless project each month and shares how they provide for the community in Birmingham. This is set against the backdrop of the nativity story in Gospel of Luke, and the often quoted line 'no room at the inn' - with Mary and Joseph, not having a place to lay their head before the birth of Jesus.

The music is provided by the AMC Gospel Choir led by Audrey Lawrence Mattis with Christmas carols like Silent Night and Joy to the World and gospel favourites Emmanuel.

Producer: Miriam Williamson
