Creative Faith in Torbay

Another chance to see Katherine Jenkins meeting creative Christians in Devon and discovering the history of Torre Abbey.

In this repeated episode, Katherine Jenkins meets creative Christians in Torbay and discovers the fascinating history of the ancient Torre Abbey. Abbey manager Lucinda Heron takes us through the building鈥檚 rich history, and we meet head gardener Ali Marshall, who has been faithfully maintaining the beautiful grounds for many years.

Katherine also speaks to Martin Harris, leader of Christian drama company Unleashed, which helps support locals struggling with homelessness and addiction by teaching them to perform. The company鈥檚 most recent, award-winning film project tells the story of how one of Torbay鈥檚 churches became one of the UK鈥檚 first to be open to people who could not afford to pay for pews.

Gemma Hunt meets Geoff Ward, aka Sandyman, who believes God helps him create amazing pictures in the sand, including one of the Songs of Praise logo. Tapestry artist Jacqui Parkinson demonstrates how she creates her splendid, silk-woven panels depicting stories from the Bible. Her most recent exhibition, Threads through Creation, is on its latest stop at Exeter Cathedral, and dean Jonathan Greener talks about what it means to host the installation.

Plus hymns sung outdoors in different locations around Britain鈥檚 beautiful coastline.
