The Hay Festival

Radio 4's Sunday morning service from the Hay Festival with Nathan Munday and Dr Belle Tindall.

This service comes from The Hay Festival, and is led by Dr Belle Tindall. The preacher is Nathan Munday, a Welsh writer and church minister. Walking around the festival site, meeting authors and visitors, and climbing a local mountain, Munday explores the doctrine of the ascension, contained within the line in the Nicene Creed: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

During the programme we meet Hay regulars, authors Oliver Balch, Jon Gower, and illustrator Caryn Schafer.

Music:
Psalm 121 - recorded by Skimra.
Pererin Wyf / Amazing Grace.
See what a morning - recorded at St Michaels Church, Aberystwyth.
Guide me O thou Great Jehovah - recorded by the Morriston Orpheus Choir.
