Songs of Praise: Season 2023, Episode 29

2023 - 29: Pam Rhodes's Faith Journey

Pam Rhodes embarks on a personal journey, from the south coast of England to the south Midlands, to reflect on the people, places and pieces of music that have shaped her Christian faith.

Beginning in the naval town of Gosport, where she lived as a teenager, Pam reflects on her childhood, the foundations of her faith and the life-long love of hymns inherited from her mother. She is reunited with the sisters whom she mentored whilst teaching dance classes in a Christian Youth Club in the 1970s and returns to St Albans Cathedral, where she recorded her very first Songs of Praise programme in 1987.

Pam meets up with her friend, worship leader Dave Bilbrough, to discuss the importance of pilgrimage in her life and how it helped her at a time of heartbreak and difficulty. At home with her family, Pam shares her thoughts on the blessings of grandchildren and the inspiration of those who have demonstrated faith in action throughout her life.

With hymns from across the UK that are all close to Pam's heart.
