people on the edge of his pain
Join us for Lent 2010 to reflect upon People on the Edge of His Pain, which continues our partnership with BBC Radio. We look at some of the key characters in the Passion narratives and consider issues of today that resonate with these characters, using study material available to download (below).
Each week will begin with Sunday Worship 
on BBC Radio 4 (0810-0850), complemented by additional programmes on the Daily Service (0945-1000 BBC R4 LW), and Sunday morning BBC local radio programmes will carry special items based on the themes of the course.
