Se cuenta que una vez estaba el Papa de Roma con Tomás de Aquino. Al observar las riquezas del Vaticano, el Pontífice dijo: "Se ve que ya no podemos decir como Pedro, que no tenemos plata ni oro". A lo que Santo Tomás respondió: "Lo malo es que tampoco podemos decir: "¡Levántate y anda!". Esta historia, seguramente apócrifa, ya que habla originalmente de un Papa llamado Inocencio y Aquino no conoció ninguno con ese nombre, sin embargo, expresa la verdad profunda de la que habla el tercer capítulo del Libro de los Hechos. Tras la sintonía de nuestra ruta por los 66 volúmenes que forman la Biblia (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66), a cargo esta vez del ya desaparecido organista británico Harry Stoneham, oímos al "enfant terrible" de la "música cristiana" de los 80, Steve Taylor. Este hijo de un pastor bautista americano abrió un concierto en el que estuvo José de Segovia en el festival entonces "cristiano" de Greenbelt, junto al castillo de Ashby (Inglaterra) en 1985 con una canción sobre una iglesia que se había convertido ya en una discoteca )This Disco Used To Be A Cute Catredral). En ella observa que donde ahora se baila, antes se decía a la gente," lo que querían oír"... Dios parece haber abandonado su casa, pero no de la que habla el australiano Nick Cave en el tema de su disco del 2001, "Ya no partiremos más" (No More Shall We Part), donde este apasionado lector de la Biblia se da cuenta que "Dios está en la casa" (God Is In The House).Diez años antes, "la reina del country" admirada tanto por demócratas como republicanos, Dolly Parton, grabó una canción del pionero del rock Carl Perkins. El autor de "Zapatos de gamuza azul" (Blue Suede Shoes) dejó la bebida al convertirse al cristianismo evangélico en 1966, dedicando su vida a la iglesia. Esta canción que conecta con la fe Parton, está inspirada en este capítulo del Libro de Hechos. Se llama "Plata y oro" (Silver and Gold 1991). La serie que hizo el año 2016 para el canal de televisión por cable HBO, el director italiano Paolo Sorrentino -ganador de un Oscar por "La gran belleza" y autor de obras tan conmovedoras sobre el paso del tiempo, como "La juventud" o "Un lugar donde quedarse-, juega con la incertidumbre que provoca un nuevo pontífice. "El joven Papa" parece más ultramontano que el cardenal más conservador, pero con más dudas que el teólogo más radical. Todo es tan desconcertante como la vida misma. Escuchamos escenas de la serie interpretada por Jude Law, el gran Silvio Orlando, la maravillosa Diane Keaton y el español Javier Cámara en la versión doblada al castellano. Las comenta José de Segovia con la banda sonora original de Lele Marchitelli. Y así como empezamos, acabamos también el programa con una grabación en vivo de la BBC en el festival entonces "cristiano" de Greenbelt, que transmitió el culto que había el domingo por la mañana en 1985. La audiencia de la televisión británica pudo ver cómo 20.000 jóvenes bailaban al son de la canción que hizo el pastor anglicano en Palestina, Garth Hewitt. inspirado en este capítulo del Libro de los Hechos, José de Segovia estuvo también ese año allí. El tema lo ha grabado Hewitt varias veces y lo interpretó en el concierto que organizó José en Madrid en el Colegio El Porvenir. Se llama "¡Levántate y baila!" (Get Up and Dance).

'Being committed to justice and peace making is all part of this journey' says Garth Hewitt who has has been combining his passion for social justice along with his music consistently down the years. With a wealth of experience and wisdom to draw from he shares in this episode how his sense of vocation has emerged over time and in so doing encourages us to look again the important role of protest in song.
CONTROVERSIAL AND RADICAL and also humble and unassuming. Garth Hewitt is a living-legend of Christian popular music, having worked with Cliff Richard and many others, released some 40 albums and played all over the world - and yet has eschewed fame and fortune, to relate the stories of the poor and the oppressed. With the advent of his autobiography and his 2-CD compilation album in 2018, Garth talks about his life and his encounters with Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa and Cliff Richard - and the time when he bought Cliff lunch at McDonalds.
