Reflections on a Journey
BRIAN MORRIS visits Whithorn, Hex-ham Abbey and the Galilee Chapel of Durham Cathedral.
The first of four programmes in which a traveller speaks of his personal response to some places of Christian significance.
Professor Morris's journey takes him to some of the sites associated with the earliest days of Christianity in these islands, but he reflects on them as places which speak to a 20th-century man about his own faith and his own life.
