John Bell
Roy Jenkins meets member of the Iona Community, the writer, preacher, broadcaster and prolific hymn writer Rev John Bell.
In 2019, ahead of his visit to Cardiff where he led workshops at the Llandaff and Monmouth Festival of Prayer, Roy Jenkins met member of the Iona Community, the Rev John Bell.
A prolific writer, preacher and broadcaster whoβs passionate about social justice and not afraid to say what he thinks, John has often been described as a βJohn the Baptistβ like figure. Heβs spent a lifetime devoted to the ministry of music in particular, working to βrenew congregational worshipβ in the church at βthe grass rootsβ β and to that end heβs produced an ever-growing list of hymns which have been taken up around the world, many of them with a distinctly Scottish melodic flavour.
Roy Jenkins talked to him about his life, work , and passions.
This programme was first broadcast in 2019.
