[Ely Events] Your Week's Religious Viewing and Listening Update

Your Week's Religious Viewing and Listening Update


Following a request from a member of the clergy in the diocese, I have included these two programmes
in the bulletin on the website. For some reason, they had not been included by Church House
Communications who compile the weekly list.

Friday 11th January 

Peter Owen JonesExtreme Pilgrim. "Hindu Mela". Peter Owen-Jones, a vicar in a Sussex parish, (former
vicar of Haslingfield) is dissatisfied with some aspects of his faith and sets off on three extreme
pilgrimages to China, India and Egypt to explore Zen Buddhism, Hinduism and ascetic Christianity.
Peter feels that the Church of England is too much a faith of the head, and not enough a faith of
the soul, the heart or even the body. He now sets off on a quest in search of a more physical and
mystical path to enlightment.

This week Peter travels to India and joins the Mela, the huge Hindu pilgrimage that draws to the
Ganges. Pete meets a Guru who agrees to take him under his wing and teach him how to become a Sadhu
- an Indian holy man. He then sets off on a journey across northern India to the mountains in search
of the Hindu road to spiritual bliss. 9pm BBC2

Friday 18th January 

Extreme Pilgrim. "Ascetic Christianity". Peter Owen-Jones, a vicar in a Sussex parish, (former vicar
of Haslingfield) is dissatisfied with some aspects of his faith and sets off on three extreme
pilgrimages to China, India and Egypt to explore Zen Buddhism, Hinduism and ascetic Christianity.
Peter feels that the Church of England is too much a faith of the head, and not enough a faith of
the soul, the heart or even the body. He now sets off on a quest in search of a more physical and
mystical path to enlightment.

This week Peter travels to the Egyptian desert to follow in the footsteps of the Christian hermit
and founder of monasticism St Anthony. His trek to the desert culminates in a long spell alone in a
cave in the wilderness. 9pm BBC2
