Christian Callings
The Rev. Kate Bottley is at Ripon College in Oxfordshire, where she meets a trainee vicar who used to be a heavy metal singer.
The Rev. Kate Bottley gets a taste of life on campus at Ripon College in Oxfordshire, where for over 160 years Christians have trained for the priesthood. She meets a heavy metal singer whose life changed direction when she felt God calling her to become a vicar.
There’s another chance to hear the moving testimony of Baroness Lawrence whose son Stephen was tragically murdered in 1993. We meet up with her again to hear about the exciting new research centre she has helped set up in memory of her son.
We look back on Kate's meeting with an inspirational couple whose Christian calling involved alpacas and running a community house in Birmingham. We catch up with them to find out how their brand new Church in a Yurt is helping transform their neighbourhood.
Our music comes from right across the UK and celebrates the theme of God’s calling on the lives of Christians.
