from Strabane
Northern Ireland
This border town has the highest rate of unemployment in Western Europe. Its environment was also the inspiration for some of the most notable hymns of Mrs Cecil Alexander , who lived here.
Seamus McKee talks to, among others, Fr Anthony
Mulvey, a parish priest in the town, about his faith in its people and his work with them. 'Basically, a man wants to earn his own bread rather than look forward to unemployment and State assistance for the rest of his life.'
In the bright, modem church of St Mary's, Melmount, all borders of religion and geography are forgotten as the people of Strabane sing their Songs of Praise.
All people that on earth do dwell (Old 100th); All things bright and beautiful; Lord, Jesus Chnst; How great thou art; Let there be peace on earth; And can it be (Sagina); I am the bread of life; Holy God, we praise thy name (Te Deum)

The Broken Covenant
Fr Ted Kennedy , whose parish is in Sydney, Australia, is seen by his critics as a dangerous political activist; he sees himself as simply taking the Gospel seriously. He has given over his presbytery as a refuge for Aborigines, and is one of the most powerful spokesmen in the movement for Aborigine rights. He believes it is time that white 'civilisation' stopped telling 'primitive' tribes how to live their lives. 'Aborigines say - "When white people came we had the land and they had the Bible. Now we've got the Bible and they've got the land". I feel we're the ones who need evangelising - by them.'
