  • Greenbelt Festival

    Greenbelt Festival
    2024/08/29
    Our summer holiday episode - reflecting on Mairi's experiences at Greenbelt Festival - a Christian Arts and Music festival which doesn't creep up or down the candle; it gets on the business of being church regardless of affiliation and aims to include everyone! Until Mairi's curacy, John had never explored what happened at Greenbelt: Mairi and family are regulars, so this episode is more of an interview about what the Festival is, its commitment to social justice and care for creation, and the impact it has had on Mairi's faith and ministry.
