0:00:05 > 0:00:08What do Edward Jenner,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Sir Isaac Newton,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Charles Darwin
0:00:15 > 0:00:19and this man, William Wilberforce, have in common
0:00:19 > 0:00:20apart from that their portraits hang here
0:00:20 > 0:00:23in the National Portrait Gallery?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, they're all people who have, in some way, changed the world.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29On today's Songs Of Praise, we meet people who are also trying
0:00:29 > 0:00:30to make a difference.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Coming up, changing communities by planting vegetables
0:00:37 > 0:00:40and by making films.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And why you don't have to be as rich as Bill Gates to make a difference.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Plus, some classic hymns from around the country.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Edward Jenner is often called the Father Of Immunology
0:01:01 > 0:01:03because he discovered the smallpox vaccine.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Son of a Gloucestershire vicar and the eighth of nine children,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09it's said that his work has saved more lives
0:01:09 > 0:01:11than the work of any other man.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And this one, William Wilberforce - a Yorkshireman, philanthropist,
0:01:17 > 0:01:22politician, evangelical Christian and founder member of the RSPCA,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26but he's best known for his part in the abolition of the slave trade.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29You know, it's often faith that inspires people to try to make a difference.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King for example.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36But if you ask which person has made the most impact on the world,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39many people would go back 2,000 years
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and name a man whose life changed our history for ever.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28If there was one person you reckon
0:03:28 > 0:03:32that's done the most for this world, who would it be?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Jesus Christ, I'm sorry, but Jesus Christ.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It has to be, it has to be Jesus Christ. We're all Christians.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Nelson Mandela.- Nelson Mandela?- Yes. - Good answer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Martin Luther King?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Martin Luther King, that's a great answer as well.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47If you could do one thing to change the world, what would it be?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Inspire everyone to Jesus Christ.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- What about you? - To stop world poverty.- OK.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58One thing about the world, it would be tolerance for everybody.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- What about you two?- I think peace.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Peace, definitely peace.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- What, no more war?- No.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Peace on Earth.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Something we all hope for,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59but the news is still full of stories of man's inhumanity to man.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03One of the greatest tragedies of recent times inspired Kat Callo
0:06:03 > 0:06:08to try to make the world a better place.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12On 9/11, I lost my cousin, David Fontana.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Dave was one of the 343 firefighters
0:06:16 > 0:06:20that died while they were helping to rescue people from the World Trade Center.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And in the subsequent years, I couldn't say his name
0:06:29 > 0:06:34without breaking down, so I just sort of buried it a bit.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Then the July 7th bombings in 2005 happened in London,
0:06:42 > 0:06:51and I thought, "How could young British men do something like this?"
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And I'm a Roman Catholic
0:06:54 > 0:06:59and I felt that my cousin Dave was waiting for me to make a response.
0:06:59 > 0:07:06Not the first response which is of anger and grief and rage and despair.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08The measured response.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12He was a very can-do guy
0:07:12 > 0:07:17and I thought, he's waiting for me to do something.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21So, we started Project Mosaic.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Project Mosaic is a charity that works to foster greater understanding
0:07:25 > 0:07:32between people of different backgrounds.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36We are, more and more, finding ourselves around people who are different from us -
0:07:36 > 0:07:40racially, ethnically, from a different religion,
0:07:40 > 0:07:41from a different national background,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and we can't just assume it's going to work itself out.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49We often talk about, "What can the government do?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51"What can the teachers do? What should the police do?"
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I think it's all about on the grassroots level.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58It's what can people in their everyday lives do.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Kat realised that if she was to be successful
0:08:02 > 0:08:04she had to appeal to young people.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08We are delighted this evening...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11'When we have an event, a lot of young people will send out tweets
0:08:11 > 0:08:13'and create Facebook pages,'
0:08:13 > 0:08:19so it is important to find the right language that works for young people.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23That can sometimes be a challenge for older people like me!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26One of the ways that Project Mosaic reaches out to young people
0:08:26 > 0:08:29is by running a short film competition.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Last year's winner was 23-year-old Tariq Chowdhury.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Tariq's film aims to dispel the idea that faith is divisive.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Something that is common to all major faiths is the instruction towards
0:08:44 > 0:08:47being compassionate and kind towards other human beings
0:08:47 > 0:08:50and that goes with every single religion,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and I thought that would be a great thing to espouse.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Tariq visited main centres of six different faiths in London
0:08:59 > 0:09:01to highlight their central, unifying message.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I always knew that one thing that unites all of the different
0:09:16 > 0:09:20faith groups is their love, their sincerity, their compassion.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23They have a smile on their face,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26but really, the significance is what's in their heart.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I really don't agree that religion is the source of problems.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44People who truly embody the spirit of their faith will never ever
0:09:44 > 0:09:46make things worse, they were always make things better.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49That's true of every faith, I really believe that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:59# I'd gladly walk across the desert With no shoes upon my feet
0:09:59 > 0:10:06# To share with you the last bite Of bread I had to eat
0:10:06 > 0:10:14# I would swim out to save you In your sea of broken dreams
0:10:14 > 0:10:22# When all your hopes are sinkin' Let me show you what love means
0:10:22 > 0:10:29# Love can build a bridge
0:10:29 > 0:10:37# Between your heart and mine
0:10:37 > 0:10:43# Love can build a bridge
0:10:43 > 0:10:50# Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time?
0:10:53 > 0:11:00# I would whisper love so loudly Every heart could understand
0:11:00 > 0:11:07# That love and only love Can join the tribes of man
0:11:07 > 0:11:14# I would give my heart's desire So that you might see
0:11:14 > 0:11:22# The first step is to realise That it all begins with you and me
0:11:22 > 0:11:28# When we stand together It's our finest hour
0:11:28 > 0:11:37# We can do anything, anything Keep believin' in the power
0:11:37 > 0:11:44# Love can build a bridge
0:11:44 > 0:11:52# Between your heart and mine
0:11:52 > 0:11:57# Love can build a bridge
0:11:57 > 0:12:05# Don't you think it's time? Don't you think it's time? #
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Is it possible to change a community by planting vegetables?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22The Incredible Edible project in Todmorton, West Yorkshire
0:12:22 > 0:12:27is trying to do just that by cultivating every spare inch of land in the town.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31We've got vegetables growing in very public places.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We've got them in lots of public spaces.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36We've got them in police stations, health centres,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38at the railway station, at the bus station.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40So, suddenly, people who only see things wrapped in cellophane
0:12:40 > 0:12:45in the supermarket start to see where it grows in its natural state.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49We're working with all the schools,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52we've got children now doing qualifications in agriculture.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57This is a town that isn't naturally a farming community so suddenly,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00there are job opportunities around local food.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You've got people thinking about it, you've got people growing it,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06you've got kids learning about it
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and that means that they start to think about how they spend their money.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So that means they start to support the local market.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13That means they start to support local farmers and suddenly,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18the town starts to work again as a community, as market towns always used to be.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Every year, we have a harvest festival and it's where we bring
0:13:23 > 0:13:27all the produce from the town and we cook it up and have a fantastic time.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It doesn't cost anybody anything.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So if I'm walking past one of these spaces
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and I see a cabbage growing, I just help myself?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Yes, help yourself. Absolutely, help yourself.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41We're trying to spread kindness, we're trying to reconnect people
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and when people are reconnected, particularly in hard times,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47just the most fabulous and magical things happen.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51The story that I tell, which to me really touches my heart -
0:13:51 > 0:13:54My friend Mary turned her front garden, which was a rose garden,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58into a veg patch with a big "Please help yourself" sign on it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02So we found local families going past and picking with the kids,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06and one particular local family did that and then the next day,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09they left a bowl of soup that they'd made from the veg on Mary's doorstep.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Now, these people had never spoken to Mary before in their entire life
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and that for me is what communities are all about,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and we're starting to see that all over the place.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The churches in Todmorden have also embraced
0:14:21 > 0:14:24the spirit of Incredible Edible.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I met up with the vicar who's helped open up one local graveyard
0:14:27 > 0:14:29to gardening.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I suppose, if we put a positive spin on it,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34the rain is good for the vegetables.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Very good for the vegetables! They're doing remarkably well.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- I have to say, it's a normal day for Todmorden, really.- Right, OK.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- It's not often you see vegetables growing in the graveyard.- It's not.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It's been four years now and the community have accepted it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Originally, I think people thought, "That's a bit strange",
0:14:51 > 0:14:55and people won't like it, but Incredible got in touch with us
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and said, "How about putting some vegetable beds in here?"
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We thought about it and went through the channels and said, "Yeah, we'd welcome it."
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And it's been a really good opportunity for the community.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07So who comes up here?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10A lot of the time you will see the children from the school.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11I don't know if you can see back there?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The children will often come and tend the vegetables.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Any vegetables are there to be taken by the community,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19so people who visit family graves come,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23people who walked dogs through the woods into the churchyard will come.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Everybody in the community comes and takes a lot and enjoys.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- It's a great idea, isn't it? - Absolutely fabulous.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34It's quite anarchical to have a churchyard, that is a sacred space,
0:15:34 > 0:15:40but to give it over to God's creation in a lateral thinking sense.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45This sounds absolutely perfect,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48so why is it not happening in every single community around the world?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49It's starting to happen.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53We now have 20 communities and we have people working in Africa, Spain,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Northern Ireland, and in Holland so it is starting to happen.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59We do have some wonderful weeders in this community,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02we do have churches that have put fruit trees and bushes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06We are working in the local church to put a nut orchard in the back,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09but if we could actually have that push, that drive
0:16:09 > 0:16:12by the churches in every single town to say,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16"We are the heart of the town and edible churches are the way forward
0:16:16 > 0:16:19"so let's bring our community together and grow collectively."
0:16:19 > 0:16:22You've obviously got a massive passion for it.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Do feel that is a calling for you in a way?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I've done lots of things in my life in the private and public sector.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I've never done anything more important than this, ever.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33This is about trying to change the world around us for our children.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Instead of being victims, it says, actually,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40"If we're positive about it, we can make a heck of a difference
0:16:40 > 0:16:42"and pass on a better world."
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So there is nothing more important to do than this.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Here in Suffolk, the church is using the internet to help those in need.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33It's a very simple idea.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Connect those who need help with those who want to make a difference.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's all inspired by a verse in the Bible.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Acts, Chapter 4, Verse 35 is a passage in scripture
0:18:46 > 0:18:49which says in the church as the Christians gather together
0:18:49 > 0:18:53and they shared so much in common, they felt really moved
0:18:53 > 0:18:55to go and sell their property to share even more.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58They sold land and sold their possessions,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and they pooled their money together and distributed
0:19:01 > 0:19:04to each and every one in the church community as they had need.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12If someone is in need, a request is posted on the Acts 435 website.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Visitors to the site can read the personal stories of those
0:19:16 > 0:19:19seeking help and decide who they'd like to give money to.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23They can choose whether to give the full amount or just part of it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We started it in the Yorkshire and Humber
0:19:26 > 0:19:28and then rolled it out nationally
0:19:28 > 0:19:31and we've just had a contact from France,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34so I don't see why it can't go viral and international.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39We sign up a church as a church community because we believe
0:19:39 > 0:19:43that they are the ones who know the people who are in need on the ground.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47The church appoints one or two people to be their advocates,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49the spokesperson for the person in need.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54What I do is to post a request on the website,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I have to give information
0:19:56 > 0:20:02about why this person can't actually fund what they need for themselves.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06We don't all have to be Bill Gates to help.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The little we do give, and if it is a modest amount,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11we feel more motivated to give,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14particularly if we know it's going to make a big difference at the other end.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16How can we help you?
0:20:16 > 0:20:22'My husband's unemployed is and we are both on low income'
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and we needed a mattress.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28We came up and had a word with Pam and she got the ball rolling.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32I was overjoyed because the mattress came at Christmas,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35so it's a lovely Christmas present.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Now it's just fantastic. Good night sleeps
0:20:37 > 0:20:41because I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis, so the mattress...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So that mattress literally changed your life?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Yes, and now thanks to them, I've become involved with the church
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and I go to church every Sunday and I really enjoy it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54You know, this is a way in which the church can actually
0:20:54 > 0:20:56get involved in meeting that need
0:20:56 > 0:21:01and we are just fulfilling the message of the Bible
0:21:01 > 0:21:04which is feed the hungry, clothe the poor
0:21:04 > 0:21:07and there are so many needs that come in.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The needs are wide-ranging.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12We have worked with people who are homeless
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and they are setting up homes and they need to be established.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18The elderly, we experience a lot of people who are experiencing
0:21:18 > 0:21:21fuel poverty and hardship, and just a little bit of money
0:21:21 > 0:21:24could help top up their heating bills.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We needed a new cooker basically.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Our cooker was beyond repair and told my story
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and basically, Pam told me that there was an organisation
0:21:39 > 0:21:42which the Christians pledge money and in a matter of time,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46hopefully, the money would be there for me to buy a new cooker.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50How difficult was it for you to get in touch with Acts?
0:21:50 > 0:21:54It was difficult first of all to come to terms,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57to find I need help, but I think, in today's world,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02we live in a desperate world and when people are desperate they turn to anywhere for help.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05How did you feel when that money was handed over?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Just overwhelmed with people's generosity, basically.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14It led me to go on to a Christianity explorer course
0:22:14 > 0:22:19which is now finished and my faith has grown and grown to be honest.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23So how do you feel when you hand over the money?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Oh, it's an amazing feeling because they are so overwhelmed
0:22:27 > 0:22:31receiving this and to know that somebody cares enough.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33In fact, you will see later
0:22:33 > 0:22:37when they come in to actually receive their donations.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Do you think you guys are changing the world?
0:22:39 > 0:22:44I would like to think that we're playing a small part
0:22:44 > 0:22:47in changing people's attitudes, yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Changing the world, certainly.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Changing people's worlds, one life at a time.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57For one person, I've heard it said it before and I'm sure you have,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01"If I was the only person, Christ would have died for me."
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well, Christ died.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Each individual person. So we are changing the world.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Bit by bit, life by life.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Well, I applied online, put your request on.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And people have now donated money.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10It's just three years since Acts 435 began but they have managed
0:25:10 > 0:25:15to grant over 500 requests including Anna and Pedro's.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17..replace your washing machine.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Can I say thank you to everyone.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- I would just like to hand that over to you.- Thank you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Thank you very much.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31'I am very fortunate because I am in the position of actually'
0:25:31 > 0:25:34giving the money over to people and very often,
0:25:34 > 0:25:42the response is great joy or it can be breakdown with floods of tears,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46because they are so grateful and so glad to receive.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Do you think this could make people lazy in a way?- No!
0:25:49 > 0:25:55We do have to be very careful about who we are offering money to
0:25:55 > 0:25:59because, as Christians, we have to be good stewards of the money.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It isn't our money, it's other people's money which is why,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06in the first place, we interview them.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10God is love. And that is what we want to communicate.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12God loves people.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15That's often our opportunity to speak about God
0:26:15 > 0:26:18because people do ask us why we do it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21"Why do we care?"
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's because so many people today are working on a very low rates,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26low income.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Hazel and Gary hadn't a hope of taking their children
0:26:31 > 0:26:34on holiday until they were given a place to stay.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Trouble is they didn't have the money to get there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Well, the good news is that it's actually been successful.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Oh, that's absolutely fantastic.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- And we've actually got £100. - Really?!
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Wow, that's fantastic, that's brilliant.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53SHE SOBS
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Thank you so much.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That is absolutely fantastic.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03If it isn't for the work you do, it wouldn't be possible.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06We didn't think that we would be able to take our children on holiday
0:27:06 > 0:27:13this year and thanks to the work that you do, we finally can,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and it's fantastic, isn't it?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- You really do change people's lives. - Yeah, you really do.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23a better place.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28To protect the environment.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32To promote fairness and equality.
0:30:35 > 0:30:41And to alleviate suffering and poverty.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Amen.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Well, I was hoping to find my portrait in here
0:32:58 > 0:33:01but I have been told, it's in the attic.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03In a few minutes, the gallery will be opening its doors to the public
0:33:03 > 0:33:06and these rooms will be buzzing with conversation
0:33:06 > 0:33:08but I've still got the place to myself for the moment
0:33:08 > 0:33:11and I'm really enjoying the peace and quiet, which reminds me,
0:33:11 > 0:33:16I hope you can join me for next week's Songs Of Praise when I'll be exploring silence.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I'll be finding out if it's possible to live as a hermit

0:33:22 > 0:33:23for eight days of silence,
0:33:23 > 0:33:28and some teenagers who turn off their music and mobiles for a spot of silent worship.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32And of course, we'll have hymns from around the country.
