John Bell
Roy Jenkins meets member of the Iona Community, the writer, preacher, broadcaster and prolific hymn writer Rev John Bell.
In 2019, ahead of his visit to Cardiff where he led workshops at the Llandaff and Monmouth Festival of Prayer, Roy Jenkins met member of the Iona Community, the Rev John Bell.
A prolific writer, preacher and broadcaster who’s passionate about social justice and not afraid to say what he thinks, John has often been described as a ‘John the Baptist’ like figure. He’s spent a lifetime devoted to the ministry of music in particular, working to “renew congregational worship” in the church at “the grass roots” – and to that end he’s produced an ever-growing list of hymns which have been taken up around the world, many of them with a distinctly Scottish melodic flavour.
Roy Jenkins talked to him about his life, work , and passions.
This programme was first broadcast in 2019.
