In 1883, only two years before his death at the - siege of Khartoum,
General Charles Gordon arrived in Jerusalem to carry out research into Biblical sites, convinced that the traditionally accepted locations for Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre were historically wrong. He identified Skull Hill , a rocky landmark outside the city wall, as the place of the Crucifixion, and the adjacent garden as the site of the Entombment.
Today, millions of Christians regard "Gordon's Calvary" and "Gordon's Tomb" as holy sites, and a mixed congregation joins this special edition of Songs of Praise presented by Alan Titchmarsh from the Garden
Tomb. Hymns include
Jesus Christ Is Risen Today, Thine Be the Glory and Led Like a Lamb to the Slaughter. Other sites visited include the Sea of Galilee and the Road to Emmaus.

Is the Pope a Catholic?
As many Anglicans consider following the Duchess of Kent and John Gummer over to Rome,
Everyman explores the state of Catholicism in Britain today.
How much does the Pope really have to do with the beliefs and practices of ordinary Catholics? Is there such a thing as a "Catholic identity"? And what is the church's relationship with other denominations?
Vin and Dorothy Jones from Birkenhead are "model
Catholics": they have eight children and entertain their priest to Sunday lunch. Father Edward Black objects to the Second Vatican Council and regards the Pope as a heretic, while aristocrat Leanda de Lisle believes she is in a liberal church.
These and other Catholics attest to a broad church embracing everything from dogma to radicalism. Director Roger Childs
Editor John Blake
