0:00:03 > 0:00:06A recent survey discovered that attendance

0:00:06 > 0:00:08at Church of England services had fallen below a million

0:00:08 > 0:00:12for the first time. Some churches are being forced to close.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16Many lie empty and others are sold and often turned into flats.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19So what's being done? Well, there is some good news.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21On today's Songs Of Praise,

0:00:21 > 0:00:23I'll be discovering the creative things that people are doing

0:00:23 > 0:00:26to keep their church at the heart of the community.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29And no, you're not seeing things - the church IS a Post Office.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34We meet some members of the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service,

0:00:34 > 0:00:36who are firefighting for Christ.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39I don't need to be in a church to serve.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43We can all serve our communities in whatever place we're at.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45- One, two, three, go! - DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:00:45 > 0:00:47And Josie's in central Manchester at a church

0:00:47 > 0:00:50taking worship music to the next level.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54And where the pastors seem to want to steal our jobs!

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Welcome to Songs Of Praise this morning!

0:00:56 > 0:00:57It's great to have you with us.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08We have some great music,

0:01:08 > 0:01:12including a performance from one of Scotland's finest - Barbara Dickson.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And it's the second week of Lent, so, for those of you who've given

0:01:15 > 0:01:18something up, here's a hymn of encouragement.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Visit any village, town or city

0:04:32 > 0:04:35and the one thing you'll find is a church.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37They're an important part of our heritage.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41The Church of England has 16,000 of them around the country.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43But there's a problem - fewer and fewer people

0:04:43 > 0:04:46are attending the services and, although people may like

0:04:46 > 0:04:49the idea of their local church and its sense of history,

0:04:49 > 0:04:51they may not want to pay for its upkeep.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I've come to St James's Church in London.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Like many, their day begins

0:04:57 > 0:05:00with early-morning prayers for parishioners.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oh, Lord, open our lips and mouths...

0:05:02 > 0:05:05For years, they were a very small congregation

0:05:05 > 0:05:08worshipping in a huge empty church, until their vicar -

0:05:08 > 0:05:12the Reverend Andrew Foreshew-Cain - came up with a plan.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Is this a church or is it a Post Office?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's a church, a Post Office and it's a whole lot more.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Come on inside and I'll show you.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21MUSIC: Please Mr Postman by The Marvelettes

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Wow! It's really noisy! BUZZ OF CONVERSATION

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- It's like it's a Post Office and so much more!- So much more.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30How do you get a Post Office in a church?

0:05:30 > 0:05:34We had a tweet in 2014 from the local estate agent.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38They were looking for a shop front for the new Post Office and I said,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41"I haven't got a shop front, but I've got a really big church."

0:05:41 > 0:05:44And that's not the only thing you've got here.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, no, we have all kinds of things in here now.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49We have a cafe and we employ a bunch of people there as well.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- This play centre...- And the big play centre.- ..is huge!- Big and noisy!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Local mums were saying there wasn't much in the area for them

0:05:55 > 0:05:58to do with their kids and it seemed a perfect marriage.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01We get 3,500 people a week through the building.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04What do you think of people who think that churches should be

0:06:04 > 0:06:07a place of worship and quiet contemplation?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, I think they can be at times,

0:06:09 > 0:06:14but they can also be places of life and enthusiasm and engagement.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- And that's what this place is. - So, you have all of this,

0:06:17 > 0:06:19all of this engagement, you also have all of this,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- the high altar...- Everything.- ..the services that are happening here.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25So how do you maintain it as a place of faith?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27When we built the place, we consciously chose not to

0:06:27 > 0:06:30separate out all of this from the worship space.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yes.- So it all flows in, one to the other,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35so God is watching over everything that we do here.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37That's an important message, I think, to send to people

0:06:37 > 0:06:40who come in here - that all of life is important to God.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44And we have Sunday worship, when all of this is closed, and it is a place

0:06:44 > 0:06:48of quiet contemplation and prayer and worship.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50And the congregation appreciate that.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54When Andrew came up with this idea, I thought he was mad.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Just look, I mean, it's absolutely amazing.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's become a social hub for the neighbourhood.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04The play area, personally, I don't like it.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06But I do understand its purpose as well.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09What it does, it brings people into the church,

0:07:09 > 0:07:14who actually absorb the ambience of the church, whilst conducting

0:07:14 > 0:07:17sort of secular activities, like going to the Post Office.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20The church is about family and community.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's exactly what this is.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25The congregation has doubled, which is nice.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27It was from a very low ground.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29We're about 40-50 people on a Sunday now.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32And we're now getting children and young families coming,

0:07:32 > 0:07:34which we didn't get before.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37And do you think that that's as a direct result of them having come in

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- here first?- I'm sure that's exactly the reason why they're coming to us.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Because they are here, they are comfortable with the space,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46and, when they come back on a Sunday morning,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49they're in a familiar environment, which isn't intimidating,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51and they know is welcoming.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25When we think of traditional church music,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28it's often accompanied by a church organ.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31For generations, it provided the soundtrack to worship and still,

0:10:31 > 0:10:36of course, has a role to play in the story of Christian music.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38But as Josie's been finding out, there are increasingly

0:10:38 > 0:10:42churches up and down the country that are busy writing a new chapter.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Welcome to Manchester.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Not the most recognisable part of the city, I'll grant you that.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51But today, it's not about what you can see,

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- it's about what you can hear. - MUSIC POUNDS

0:10:53 > 0:10:56And this is no ordinary warehouse.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59ROCK MUSIC PLAYS # Fearless! #

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Here we go!

0:11:02 > 0:11:06ALL: # We are, we are We are fearless! #

0:11:06 > 0:11:09It feels like you've walked into a rock concert.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13But it's Sunday morning and it's 10am!

0:11:13 > 0:11:16And this is the Audacious Church!

0:11:16 > 0:11:21# ..for Jesus! We are, we are, we are fearless!

0:11:21 > 0:11:24# We are living for Living for Jesus! #

0:11:24 > 0:11:28In a time when some congregations are in decline, Audacious has grown

0:11:28 > 0:11:33from 90 to well over 3,000 members in just eight years.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Is there anybody here who's in love

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- with Jesus this morning? - CHEERING

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Good morning, welcome to church.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44The church runs community projects and the services have

0:11:44 > 0:11:47all the traditional elements, including a sermon.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I serve the man.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- APPLAUSE - And the man has a plan!

0:11:52 > 0:11:56But it's the very contemporary sound of the music that stands out.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01The Bible talks about having shouts of joy, um, clapping hands, dancing.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04And so, there is a real element of celebration in the Bible.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I think, when you understand what Jesus has done,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10how can you keep quiet? We really feel like that's the case.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13We can't be quiet, we can't shut up and God is so great!

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- DANCE MUSIC PLAYS - I want to see every single person

0:12:16 > 0:12:19off their feet! Front to back, one, two, three, go!

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Can you remember that first time you got here -

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- what was your first impression of it?- Wow!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31When we first came, the music was a bit of a culture shock.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34But you just sort of go with the flow, I suppose, in a way.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37# ..we will shine the brightest! #

0:12:37 > 0:12:41I mean, as an African, we dance everything, we sing everything!

0:12:41 > 0:12:45I enjoy it, cos it's something different. It's out of the ordinary.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48# ..make us one, bring us light! #

0:12:48 > 0:12:51The music's new, the music's fresh.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53And that's why, you know, I certainly enjoy being here

0:12:53 > 0:12:54and why I know these guys do as well.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- # Ray of light! # - Here we go !

0:12:58 > 0:13:02To many, the songs in an Audacious service may sound radical,

0:13:02 > 0:13:06but, for the band who write them, the approach is nothing new.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Key change, and you get off the stool.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11'When you look at William Booth and The Salvation Army,'

0:13:11 > 0:13:14and brass bands - that was, you know, the secular music of the time.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15And that was, you know,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- their way of getting people into the church.- Yeah.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20With something familiar, that they could understand and relate to.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's just all about finding a new and a fresh

0:13:23 > 0:13:28and a relevant expression of our worship and praise to God.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31When you're having the stage, the lights, the music,

0:13:31 > 0:13:37how do you ensure that it is an act of worship and not a performance?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39We're not coming here just to have own personal time.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Like we're coming here to be a part of the church, part of the family,

0:13:42 > 0:13:43and we're worshipping together

0:13:43 > 0:13:46and so, there has to be an outward expression and you could say, yes,

0:13:46 > 0:13:50it's performance, but not performance in the sense of,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53"Look at me, everyone!" but it's actually, "Look at Jesus!"

0:13:53 > 0:13:56# We are, we are We are fearless!

0:13:56 > 0:14:00# We are living for Living for Jesus! #

0:14:00 > 0:14:04They may not remember a sermon, even though I thought it was brilliant.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07What they're going to remember is the songs that they're singing.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09And I think it was probably John Wesley who actually said,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12"We learn our theology through the songs that we sing."

0:14:12 > 0:14:15# We are living for Living for Jesus! #

0:14:15 > 0:14:17CHEERING

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Wow! That music would certainly wake you up on a Sunday morning!

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Now, our next hymn comes from South London and,

0:14:26 > 0:14:30whilst it may not be quite as loud, it's certainly just as heartfelt.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11SIREN WAILS

0:17:11 > 0:17:14We've all heard about trying to get the work-life balance right,

0:17:14 > 0:17:17but what about the work-faith balance?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Sometimes it's all too easy to hang up our faith on the door

0:17:20 > 0:17:21on the way into work.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23But one group of Christian firefighters from the

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service meet up regularly to help

0:17:27 > 0:17:31each other deal with the difficult situations they are called to face.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Fire, guys!

0:17:35 > 0:17:39When firefighters respond to an 999 emergency call,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42they have to be prepared for any situation,

0:17:42 > 0:17:46as Watch Commander Paddy Quinn from Omagh knows only too well.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48SIREN WAILS

0:17:48 > 0:17:49It's a house fire.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52And, according to this, it's two persons reported.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- The police had phoned it in.- OK, sir.- Michael, you got it covered?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Even for experienced firefighters, like Paddy,

0:17:57 > 0:18:01it can be traumatic when the call is to attend a serious incident.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Through the Troubles in Northern Ireland,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06the biggest loss of life in one incident was the Omagh bomb.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08CAR ALARMS WAIL

0:18:08 > 0:18:13Paddy was one of the firefighters on watch in Omagh back in 1998,

0:18:13 > 0:18:16when the Real IRA exploded a car bomb

0:18:16 > 0:18:18in the centre of the market town.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21For us, as firefighters, to have to go

0:18:21 > 0:18:23and deal with that, it was very traumatic.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'd never witnessed a scene like it.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Especially since you knew people. People were asking me to help them.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32And it was just like the most impossible thing to do,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35was to help that day, because there was so much need

0:18:35 > 0:18:38and, as a firefighter, you felt so helpless.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40And it's something that I never talked about for years,

0:18:40 > 0:18:44cos of respect for the families and nobody needed to know the trauma.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46You sort of parked it in the back of your mind,

0:18:46 > 0:18:48but every now and again, it came back to you.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Robert initially asked me... - Because of the nature of their work,

0:18:51 > 0:18:55Firefighters are encouraged to talk about their experiences.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58And one of the organisations in Northern Ireland

0:18:58 > 0:19:01that can provide support is Firefighters for Christ.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Once a month, the group meets in Belfast and it's the job

0:19:04 > 0:19:08of one of the founding members to cook up a hearty breakfast.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Primarily, Firefighters for Christ is about encouraging firefighters

0:19:11 > 0:19:14to live their lives for Jesus Christ. We have trained chaplains

0:19:14 > 0:19:16within Firefighters for Christ.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19We also have counselling facilities within Firefighters for Christ.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23People that are having issues - either family issues,

0:19:23 > 0:19:25finances, or just not dealing with life well.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's quite a difficult job,

0:19:27 > 0:19:29in the sense that there's a lot you can take home with you.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31What you've seen and what you've had to cope with.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34A lot of the times, you might be the only Christian on the station,

0:19:34 > 0:19:37not just the watch, but potentially the station altogether.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41So it's nice to have other guys there that have a faith.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Firefighters for Christ is a worldwide organisation

0:19:44 > 0:19:48and, as part of their mission work, Paddy recently visited Uganda,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51where they support a children's home.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53These people are just so alive

0:19:53 > 0:19:56in their love of God and their praise of God.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59We're able to bring funds out to them, to bring clothes out to them,

0:19:59 > 0:20:02pay for the new roof on the emergency relief building.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05And they were also there to train local firefighters

0:20:05 > 0:20:08and deliver free life-saving equipment.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Firefighters throughout the world are firefighters.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13We have a brotherhood, we have a bond.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16And, in that bond, we want to be able to save people. So, yes,

0:20:16 > 0:20:18we want to help them save themselves

0:20:18 > 0:20:22and save others with these practical techniques of rescue.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24But ultimately, our main goal is

0:20:24 > 0:20:26that we rescue their spiritual lives.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30'If you take Jude 23, it says exactly what firefighters do -

0:20:30 > 0:20:33'to snatch others from the fire and save them.'

0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Good morning, church. - ALL: Good morning.

0:20:35 > 0:20:373-0 seconds, 30 seconds!

0:20:37 > 0:20:40'Firefighters, we serve, because our name says service.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45'Whether it be in a really serious situation, such as the Omagh bomb.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47'Equally as important is when we go to an old lady

0:20:47 > 0:20:51'who's burnt her cooking and is in distress and we go and help her.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54'And it's shown me that I don't need to be in a church to serve.'

0:20:54 > 0:20:57We can all serve our communities in whatever place we're at.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00SIREN WAILS

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Great to hear the congregation in Bristol there.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Now, we have some wonderful performers on Songs Of Praise

0:23:34 > 0:23:38and this lady has been entertaining us for many years, with hits such as

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I Know Him So Well and January, February.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Here, singing a song from her latest album, Barbara Dickson.

0:23:46 > 0:23:53# My song is love unknown

0:23:53 > 0:23:58# My Saviour's love to me

0:23:58 > 0:24:01# Love to the loveless shown

0:24:01 > 0:24:07# That they might lovely be

0:24:07 > 0:24:10# O who am I

0:24:10 > 0:24:14# That for my sake

0:24:14 > 0:24:17# My Lord should take

0:24:17 > 0:24:21# Frail flesh and die?

0:24:24 > 0:24:31# Sometimes, they strew His way

0:24:31 > 0:24:35# And His strong praises sing

0:24:35 > 0:24:39# Resounding all the day

0:24:39 > 0:24:45# Hosannas to their King

0:24:45 > 0:24:48# Then "Crucify!"

0:24:48 > 0:24:52# Is all their breath

0:24:52 > 0:24:54# And for His death

0:24:54 > 0:25:00# They thirst and cry

0:25:03 > 0:25:09# They rise and needs will have

0:25:09 > 0:25:14# My dear Lord made away

0:25:14 > 0:25:18# A murderer they save

0:25:18 > 0:25:23# The Prince of Life they slay

0:25:23 > 0:25:27# Yet steadfast He

0:25:27 > 0:25:30# To suffering goes

0:25:30 > 0:25:33# That He His foes

0:25:33 > 0:25:38# From thence might free

0:25:39 > 0:25:45# Here might I stay and sing

0:25:45 > 0:25:50# No story so divine

0:25:50 > 0:25:54# Never was love, dear King

0:25:54 > 0:26:00# Never was grief like Thine

0:26:00 > 0:26:03# This is my Friend

0:26:03 > 0:26:07# In Whose sweet praise

0:26:07 > 0:26:09# I all my days

0:26:09 > 0:26:17# Could gladly spend. #

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Earlier in the programme, I told you about

0:26:22 > 0:26:25the recent Church of England survey that discovered that numbers

0:26:25 > 0:26:28attending weekly services had fallen to their lowest ever.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's dwindling numbers like that

0:26:30 > 0:26:33that cause churches like this to close.

0:26:33 > 0:26:38St Alban's Acton Green in West London was empty for seven years.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Now it's reopened as part of the Church of England's initiative

0:26:41 > 0:26:46to create 100 new congregations in London by 2020.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47It's quite an ambition.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50'The man tasked with achieving this

0:26:50 > 0:26:53'is Bishop of Islington, the Right Reverend Ric Thorpe.'

0:26:53 > 0:26:56In a church, I've never seen anything like this!

0:26:56 > 0:26:59'Here at St Alban's, they've come up with an unusual plan.'

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Why have you got a tent indoors?

0:27:01 > 0:27:02While they're fixing up the building,

0:27:02 > 0:27:07a tent means that the congregation can stay warm inside.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10'Well, that's a novel way of solving the problem

0:27:10 > 0:27:12'of no heating and a leaky roof.'

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Bishop Ric, how do you create a new congregation

0:27:15 > 0:27:17- where there isn't one?- Well,

0:27:17 > 0:27:21in the Church of England, you need three things to start a new church -

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- you need a Bishop who says yes...- Mm-hm.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25..you need a leader, like a vicar who's going to go

0:27:25 > 0:27:29and lead the new thing, and then you need a group of people

0:27:29 > 0:27:33who are going to follow that leader and start something new.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Um, welcome to St Alban's this morning.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Um, how are you all doing? - CHEERING

0:27:37 > 0:27:40And then, that leader - the vicar - says,

0:27:40 > 0:27:43"OK, we're going to encourage people to start coming,"

0:27:43 > 0:27:46and the services might start soon after that, and then,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49once those things are happening, then you're up and running.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51SINGING

0:27:51 > 0:27:54And we want to recognise that there are lots of different groups

0:27:54 > 0:27:56of people in London who we're not connecting with.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00And so, starting 100 new congregations is about saying,

0:28:00 > 0:28:03"Let's find those places, those people groups,

0:28:03 > 0:28:07"those networks and say, 'Let's start a church for them.'"

0:28:07 > 0:28:10And St Alban's has certainly found those family groups.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Well, this church didn't look like it had a future.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19It was, er, going to be converted

0:28:19 > 0:28:22into residential flats - nine luxury flats -

0:28:22 > 0:28:26um, but the local community were up in arms about that

0:28:26 > 0:28:29and 5,000 or so signed a petition to save the church

0:28:29 > 0:28:31for the community and to be a church again.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35Um, I've lived in the area a long while, um, and it just felt

0:28:35 > 0:28:38very important to keep this as a local community space.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42- It's a good place for mums and fathers to be...- Yeah?

0:28:42 > 0:28:46..and basically get to know each other and it's a nice place

0:28:46 > 0:28:49for the littler kids to bounce around and have fun.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52What is it that excited you about coming over here?

0:28:52 > 0:28:55I guess it was kind of the blank canvas, so the opportunity

0:28:55 > 0:28:59to reopen it, start another congregation here and just put

0:28:59 > 0:29:03your own flavour on it, really, take it wherever you want to go.

0:29:03 > 0:29:10- ALL:- # ..we surrender to the truth... #

0:29:10 > 0:29:12When they come in, hopefully they find a welcome,

0:29:12 > 0:29:15and community that they want to be part of.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17And then, actually, at the end of the day, what changes

0:29:17 > 0:29:21people's lives, what makes them stay, is Jesus, it's the Gospel.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23The same Gospel that's been preached for thousands of years,

0:29:23 > 0:29:25but it still changes people's lives today -

0:29:25 > 0:29:27that's why people stay in church.

0:31:13 > 0:31:14That's about it for this week.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Next week, Aled Jones encounters some Welsh pride

0:31:17 > 0:31:20in Port Talbot as he discovers how the community there is

0:31:20 > 0:31:23dealing with the future of their steelworks.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Now, we finish with a hymn that reminds us that,

0:31:25 > 0:31:28although styles may change, faith endures.
