Songs of Praise BBC TV/ Green Christians

Judith Allinson has pointed out that Songs of Priase on Sunday evening features a programme entitled Green Christians.

You can watch it for another 6 days in the Iplayer

It features
* the 12th C church at Sleaford's new solar panels on the roof - dedication service
* a good interview with Ruth Valerio of Arocha * Martin Palmer of Alliance of Religions and Conservation
* Mary Colwell (formerly of BBC Natural History Unit)

* Jessica Randell (from Bradford) and Joseph Carrick's Green Wedding
(again)- with a brief shot of Sam..

* The song "Beauty for Brokenness" by Graham Kendrick - With the ONLY ecological verse which makes it into a "green song"(verse 5 of course) missed out. Crazy. but typical - I've had my hopes raised and dashed before in several services.

This hymn is now in the extended version of Mission Praise.

Here is verse 5:

5. Rest for the ravaged earth
Oceans and streams
Plundered and poisoned
Our future, our dreams
Lord, end our madness
Carelessness, greed
Make us content with
The things that we need .


The whole song can be heards in a beautiful film in YouTube.
