Service of Hope at Easter

Taal: NL
Categorie: reportage

For much of the past year, Christian communities across Northern Ireland have not met in person for collective worship due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In a special programme for Easter Sunday, the leaders of the main Christian churches in Northern Ireland, along with the President of the Irish Council of Churches, offer personal messages of hope to take people forward and look ahead after a year dominated by the Coronavirus. In Service of Hope at Easter the reflections of the church leaders are intercut with hymns recorded in recent years for Songs of Praise in Northern Ireland, along with bespoke and contemporary performances of the Psalms from Kiran Young Wimberly and the McGrath Family, recorded at the Burnavon Theatre in Cookstown. The programme is presented from the Waterfront Hall in Belfast by Audrey Carville, well-known to Radio Ulster listeners for her work on Sunday Sequence.
