What Calls Us? Stories of Faith and Service in Wales
All Things ConsideredAvailable for 29 days
Azim Ahmed goes on a journey to explore spiritual vocation across our rich faith traditions in Wales. The word vocation originates from the Latin vocatio meaning 'a call' or 'summons', and while it remains closely tied to religious calling, the modern concept includes a broader range of paths and life pursuits. In the programme today, Azim explores this range of callings; from a young woman training for ordination at a Buddhist Retreat Centre in rural Brecon, to a Muslim teacher helping children in the centre of Cardiff to learn about their religion. We’ll hear from a Jewish educator supporting adults to reconnect with Judaism, and from a young Hindu woman at the Shree Swaminarayan Hindu Temple in Cardiff who’s supporting her community to prepare for celebrations for the International Day of Yoga.
