Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People - Richard Coles

We all know that saints are both dead and respectable. But St Paul called all the people of God the early church saints whether they were behaving in a saintly way or not. What if God is showing us the glory, the grace and the transformative love of his presence in the people who happen to be there, whether we like it - or them - or not? And what if we are called to be saints as well, and do the same for other people? This edited film of the event features Revd Richard Coles, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live and the only priest in the Church of England to have had a No 1 hit. Formerly a member of The Communards, he is now Vicar of Finedon, Northamptonshire and the author of the bestselling memoir Fathomless Riches: Or How I Went from Pop to Pulpit (W&N) and Lives of the Improbable Saints (DLT). Chaired by Canon Mark Oakley, part of the Adult Learning Programme. The film of Nadia Bolz-Weber is not available.
