As this episode of Reflections falls close to St John's day, we're looking at the lives of John The Baptist and his mother Elizabeth through Bible readings and fictional reflections. Elizabeth reflects on her painful journey to motherhood, and then, when that longing was fulfilled, what it was like raising her son, a child and then man so unlike any others. And we follow John The Baptist from his cell to his execution, which he meets with both peace and clarity.

How do I get there? Can I introduce myself to anyone? What will the hymns be? What will the service order be? How will I find my way around the building? How will I get home afterwards?

These are all questions that a blind or partially sighted person might ask when thinking about attending a new church. Some of them are for the person to answer. In other cases, the church may be able to help. This episode discusses these issues in more detail.
