Common Ground

Available for 28 days

A quarter of a century ago – just after the turn of the millennium – Burnley experienced racial violence that divided communities. As part of Radio 4’s Common Ground season, Sunday Worship visits St Matthew the Apostle in Burnley to hear from its diverse congregation about what brings the community together despite their differences and the many initiatives that have unified the town’s faith communities. The service is led by Rev Victor Sohail and Rev Kat Gregory-Witham. The preacher is Father Alex Frost. The St Matthew's Church Choir and the Daily Service Singers provide the music for this service. The Director of Music is Andrew Earis. The organist is Peter Harrison.
