BBC Radio 4 to broadcast Sunday Worship from Leeds

Source: Diocese of Leeds

BBC Radio 4's Sunday Worship, at 8.10am on 19 July, comes from the Diocese of Leeds. Fr Michael Hall, parish priest of St Joseph's, Brighouse and St Patrick's, Elland will lead 'A Word for All Seasons' to reflect on how the 'God who Speaks' meets us in the changing circumstances of our lives - especially significant at a time when many Christians will have been turning to the Bible for comfort through the coronavirus pandemic.

The service will include Scripture passages that have particular emphasis on the importance of the Word of God and hymns and motets previously recorded by the Leeds Diocesan Choirs.

The homily will be given by the newest priest in the Diocese, Fr Henry Longbottom, just two days after his ordination at Leeds Cathedral on Friday, 17 July.

2020 is the 'Year of the Word' in the Catholic Church in England and Wales - to celebrate, share and live out faith through deeper Scriptural engagement.

The service will include Scripture passages that have particular emphasis on the importance of the Word of God and hymns and motets previously recorded in Leeds Cathedral by the Leeds Diocesan Choirs.

The God Who Speaks initiative is a partnership between Bible Society and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.
