From the Miracle Temple, Wandsworth, led by The Rev Dr Prince J. Blackson, Bishop of the Bethany Fellowship
Whitsun is especially important to Pentecostal Christians. The Bethany Fellowship was founded in Ghana in 1960 by The Rev Dr Blackson and there are now more than a million members in Ghana, Togo and the Ivory Coast. In 1979 he felt called by God to bring his church to London. It is now outgrowing its third building.
The congregation have fasted in preparation for today's service. Join them as they gather to worship, both in the church and the surrounding open spaces. At the end of the service they break their fast amid much rejoicing.

The Isles of Scilly
They lie 27 miles south west of Land's End, free from frost, famed for their flower industry, their subtropical gardens bathed in colour all year round. Little wonder then that the Isles of Scilly, as Andrew Cooper discovers in this film, became known as 'The Fortunate Islands', set in the dramatic isolation of the Atlantic, home to wandering seabirds and a birthplace for the grey seal.
