David Suchet goes us on a pilgrimage through England and Wales, visiting many of Britain's great cathedrals. Along the way, he explores some of the old and well-worn pilgrim routes and a few of the newer ones.

Christins are often mocked and criticised by rhe media in the west or more often ignred which is ironc because there are well overr the world well over 2,000,000,000 adherents.but enoihj of that, i digress, thank you for the great program and God Bless

@catherinejones9396 When the Anglican Church decided to go for ordaining women to be priests, I left the Anglican Church forever. They had a screenshot on this episode of a woman in a priest's collar and she looked ridiculous. All the beauty that once was in the old Church is long gone. They've turned all the altars around, dumped the old Prayer Book for modern language and they have "alter girls"

@@catherinejones9396 For centuries Church of England priests have been exclusively male. The 1970s saw the end of traditional Anglicanism. As to "God" creating male and female to "serve" him, well, to me, this is way, way off the mark. Why would god require anybody at ALL to "serve" him? As to the Adam and Eve story and the supposed "fall of man" there is absolutely no evidence that Adam and Eve ever existed. None whatsoever.

We’ve taken so many of these pilgrimages, and will probably spend the rest of our lives walking portions of them. We’re completely taken in, and have, I’ll venture to say, experienced a handful of miracles, most likely more that we were blissfully unaware of. Often it seems an academic approach to history and culture can be like plucking the wings off a butterfly, but these pilgrimages restore flight to wonder!

When there are prayer intentions rattling around in my mind, I've often found that pilgrimage is the best thing to do. Some physical and financial effort, bodily taking them to a holy place, and asking the saints who are still at work there to take over, has brought a lot of peace. And you always returns from pilgrimage a bit different - it changes you 😊

Lovely effort to exhibit what is left of the cathedral age in England. It was Henry VIII who instructed the destruction of Thomas a Becket's tomb, both at Canterbury, and at the Bridge in London, so one can hardly castigate the 'reformation' for its destruction of thousands of artifacts, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures and abbeys when the king himself led this wholesale ruination, Henry's own "bonfire of the vanities" as it were. The Lindisfarne Gospels escaped that fury by an inch. Imagine how many others did not.

While God can be worshipped anywhere and at anytime, there’s something so matchless and incomparable about these glorious cathedrals as places of worship. As a professional musician I’ve had the privilege to play for worship services in cathedrals in the US. The visuals (the architecture, art, etc) and the acoustics which carry the sound everywhere in these buildings have to be experienced to be understood. They are integral to helping people experience and understand the Divine in ways that other buildings of worship cannot. IMHO the only thing that is on par with worshipping or participating in a program held in a cathedral can only be matched by being out in nature.

I pray that Britain's churches, large or small, grand or humble, will fill up again with believers who possess a vital, Christian faith. Better to make a "pilgrimage" to your local, gospel-preaching church every Sunday than to trudge a hundred miles once or twice in your life, but forget about God the rest of your time on Earth. Still, I would love to visit these awesome cathedrals.
