Prof Dion Forster – All Saints Day - 3 Nov 2022

Loading player...

1 Nov is traditionally celebrated as ‘All Saints Day’ - that can be a bit of a mind bender for many contemporary Christians! There are some who are concerned about the veneration or Saints (an old Catholic tradition), and of course some who are concerned about the focus on remembering those who have died.
Prof Dion chats about All Saints Day, and why it is important for Christians to remember the faithful sisters and brothers whose lives are an example to us.
