Welcome to our podcast series, Celebrating Stories of Faith. In this series we'll be hearing from Christians across the North of England about how and why their faith is so important to them, and what they do about that.
Celebrating Stories of Faith is part of Faith in the North. Commissioned by the Archbishop of York, Faith in the North seeks to help us learn from and reconnect with our Christian heritage, as well as compellingly communicate the heart of the Christian faith, and its message of good news, freedom and purpose for all people.
