"My great-grandfather was a glassblower. He was gone long before my time, but I grew up feeling his presence in my grandmother's house. Hearing this field recording felt like a way back to him, and to something older. Molten glass has always reminded me of primordial earth and creation myths. I built the piece from fragments of the recording, layered with synthesizers. I hope you find something cosmic in here. "Thus created were the islands,Rocks were fastened in the ocean,Pillars of the sky were planted,Fields and forests were created,Checkered stones of many colors,Gleaming in the silver sunlight"— Kalevala, Rune I, translated by John Martin Crawford (1888) St Helen's glassblowing reimagined by Anni Roenkae.

Saint Constantine was born in 272, the son of Constantius Chlorus, ruler of the western part of the Roman Empire, and St Helen. When his father died in 306 he was proclaimed successor to the throne. The empire was ruled at that time by several Caesars, each with his own territory. When Constantine learned that the Caesars Maxentius and Maximinus had joined against him, he marched on Italy. It was there that, on the eve of a decisive battle outside Rome, he saw in the sky a radiant Cross with the words "In this sign conquer." He ordered that a battle-standard be made bearing the image of a cross and inscribed with the Name of Jesus Christ. The following day he and his forces attacked and won a spectacular victory. He entered Rome in triumph and in 312 was proclaimed "Emperor of the West" by the Senate. (His brother-in-law Licinius ruled in the East.) Soon thereafter he issued his "Edict of Milan," whereby Christianity was officially tolerated for the first time, and persecution of Christians ceased. (Many believe, mistakenly, that the Edict made Christianity the only legal religion; in fact, it proclaimed freedom of religion throughout the Empire).   Licinius, though he pretended to accept the Edict, soon began persecuting Christians in his domain. In response, Constantine fought and defeated him in 324, becoming sole Emperor of the entire Roman Empire. In 324 he laid the foundations of a new capital in the town of Byzantium; in 330 he inaugurated the new capital city, naming it "New Rome" and "Constantinople." In 325 he called the First Ecumenical Council at Nicea, attending its sessions himself. Shortly before his repose in 337, he received Holy Baptism; he died on Holy Pentecost, at the age of sixty-five, and was interred in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.   St Constantine's holy mother Helen, in her role as "Augusta" of the Empire, founded countless churches. She traveled to Jerusalem and found the True Cross on which the Lord was crucified. In the Holy Land she established churches at the sites of Christ's Nativity and burial, which still stand today in much-modified form. She died at about eighty years of age.

Tell us what you think of this episode The Extra TestStories about Bradman and Turnbull, and memories of Majid and Maynard, bring alive the history of touring teams against Glamorgan in this episode of the Museum of Welsh Cricket podcast.In his new book, ‘The Extra Test', Glamorgan scorer and historian Dr Andrew Hignell celebrates a bygone era when world greats played the county in three-day games.Many of the greatest matches took place at St Helen's, and the stories often pay fitting tribute to the fine old Swansea venue. Presented by Greg Lewis.Taken from the book itself:Matches against the touring teams from overseas were the highlight of Glamorgan County Cricket Club's fixture list.The three day games against the international stars allowed the club's avid supporters, plus those with a more general sporting interest, a chance to watch some of the greatest names in world cricket to play on welsh soil.The Extra Test is a celebration of bygone times in the history of the domestic game.  It is also a tribute to the richly appreciated efforts of the overseas in their matches with Glamorgan.  The Celtic fervour especially in the matches at St Helen's ground in Swansea, meant that there was an additional dimension to the contests between Glamorgan and the touring teams.In the words of Richie Benaud, the great Australian captain - and later world famous broadcaster- 'this match with Glamorgan is like an extra Test in our series on tour'.Greg Lewis of the podcast interviews Andrew Hignell, the author of the book, about his reasons for writing it and the stories it contains.  Andrew has been the Glamorgan 1st XI scorer since 2004.  For over 25 years he combined a career as a teacher with working on radio commentaries for BBC Radio Wales on the home and away matches of Glamorgan.  In 2004 he became the Heritage and Education Co-Ordinator of Glamorgan Cricket, where he manages the Museum of Welsh Cricket at Sophia Gardens.The book is published by Weslh Publisher Parthian and a copy can be purchased here:https://www.parthianbooks.com/collections/new-releases/products/the-extra-test-the-story-of-glamorgan-playing-the-best-1875-2025

This week marks the 100th birthday of Dick Lucas, one of the most influential evangelical leaders of the 20th century. For nearly four decades as Rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate in London, Dick shaped a generation of preachers and transformed a quiet city parish into a global centre of expository Bible ministry. The influence of his clear, fearless, and creative preaching continues to ripple out through pulpits around the world.We're joined by Peter Jensen (former Archbishop of Sydney and Principal of Moore College) and Phillip Jensen (founder of Two Ways Ministries, former Dean of Sydney Cathedral, and long-time leader of Campus Bible Study). Both were impacted by Dick's ministry and friendship.Dick Lucas was a trainer of preachers. He helped us see what could be done with city pulpits, and founded the Proclamation Trust and Cornhill Course.Our focus is on learning from Evangelical History from a faithful, eccentric, humble servant of Christ. The Church Cothechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.

Our regular podcast has catered principally for racing fans since its introduction seven years ago. This week we break the mould by presenting an interview with Royce Simmons OAM who reached dizzy heights in his footballing career as both player and coach. From the time of his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2022, Royce hasn't left a stone unturned in keeping himself fit enough to pursue every avenue in raising money for dementia research. His results have been inspiring. The celebrated hooker played in 238 games for Penrith between 1980-1991, ten  for the NSW Blues and another ten in the green and gold of Australia. Every time I run into Royce at a sporting function I'm reminded of the fact that he should be a guest on our podcast. I issued an invitation at a recent Panthers charity luncheon and he graciously accepted.  Royce talks about his current state of health and the success of the “Royce's Big Walk” initiative which has raised thousands of dollars for dementia research. He talks about his recent hosting role at a Saturday afternoon Panthers initiative called “Royce's Race Day”. Members and guests got to enjoy the best in food and drinks, good fellowship and the opportunity to chat with one of Penrith's favourite sons.  Royce talks of his love of a dabble but doesn't rate himself as a successful punter. The Penrith Hall Of Famer talks of early life in the Lachlan Valley township of Canowindra where he developed a liking for the Rugby Union code. Royce talks of his hard working parents and his siblings - two sisters and one brother. He reflects on a move to nearby Gooloogong when his father George purchased the local butcher shop. He brings up the subject of Cocky Raider, a champion pacer of the late 60's and early 70's who was trained in the town by Jack McWilliam. Royce was just ten or eleven years of age but hasn't forgotten the impact Cocky Raider had on the 500 residents of Gooloogong.  Royce looks back on his subsequent move to the big smoke and trial games for St George and South Sydney.  He hasn't forgotten an unexpected approach from the Penrith Club generated by a recommendation from Parramatta star Barry Rushworth. To make it all come together Royce had to play two trial games in twenty four hours. Many have forgotten that Simmons played lock forward in his first year with Penrith.  The former champion hooker talks of the radical changes in the scrum feed. He looks back on his unforgettable debut for the NSW Blues in 1984.  Royce says he lost the job to Benny Elias in 1985, but returned the following year to get “Man Of The Match” in Game 1. His form in the 1986 State Of Origin series earned him a spot in the Kangaroo squad to play three tests against NZ. He was the first Penrith product to play for Australia. Later in 1986 Royce toured with the Kangaroo side in a six test series against Papua New Guinea, Great Britain and France. He didn't get a break that year. Royce talks about his seven years as captain of the Penrith side, a role he took very seriously. He looks back on Penrith's clash with a very strong Canberra side in the Winfield Cup Grand Final of 1990.  Perhaps Royce Simmons is best remembered for his two try contribution to Penrith's first ever premiership win in 1991. It was his final appearance as a player, and one he'll never forget. Royce takes us through the circumstances under which his “double” eventuated. The OAM inductee takes us through his coaching days which began with the St Mary's first grade side but soon escalated to loftier heights. On returning to Australia Royce was invited to take over the role of Panthers coach from the departing Phil Gould. Royce looks back on seven happy years as assistant coach of the Wests Tigers under the leadership of Tim Sheens. The former Penrith legend was gobsmacked when an offer came for him to coach the famous St Helen's Club in England. It didn't work out quite as well as Royce had hoped. He pays tribute to his wonderful family - wife Liane, children Kirk, Britt, Carly and Demi and special mention of seven grandchildren. Royce acknowledges the administrative talents of Brian Fletcher who recently announced impending retirement from his role as Panthers Group CEO.  I've never forgotten the Network Ten coverage of the 1991 Winfield Cup Grand Final. It was Penrith's first premiership, and an unforgettable swansong for one of the club's greatest sons. Royce Simmons remembers the greatest day of his playing career on this week's podcast.

It is difficult times in the Church of England.Having previously publicly betrayed his ordination and consecration vows - the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby - has now resigned over his handling of a safeguarding matter, following the release of the Makin report.The Church of England is tearing itself apart over sexuality.There are more apostate bishops than faithful bishops in the English House of Bishops.And there is now a massive group within the Church of England called The Alliance,  representing 42% of the denomination's attendance,  basically pleading to the house of bishops to repent.William Taylor has served since 1998 as the senior pastor of St Helen's London.

He entered Rome in triumph and in 312 was proclaimed "Emperor of the West" by the Senate. (His brother-in-law Licinius ruled in the East.) Soon thereafter he issued his "Edict of Milan," whereby Christianity was officially tolerated for the first time, and persecution of Christians ceased. (Many believe, mistakenly, that the Edict made Christianity the only legal religion; in fact, it proclaimed freedom of religion throughout the Empire).   Licinius, though he pretended to accept the Edict, soon began persecuting Christians in his domain. In response, Constantine fought and defeated him in 324, becoming sole Emperor of the entire Roman Empire. In 324 he laid the foundations of a new capital in the town of Byzantium; in 330 he inaugurated the new capital city, naming it "New Rome" and "Constantinople." In 325 he called the First Ecumenical Council at Nicea, attending its sessions himself. Shortly before his repose in 337, he received Holy Baptism; he died on Holy Pentecost, at the age of sixty-five, and was interred in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.   St Constantine's holy mother Helen, in her role as "Augusta" of the Empire, founded countless churches. She traveled to Jerusalem and found the True Cross on which the Lord was crucified. In the Holy Land she established churches at the sites of Christ's Nativity and burial, which still stand today in much-modified form. She died at about eighty years of age.

Saint Constantine was born in 272, the son of Constantius Chlorus, ruler of the western part of the Roman Empire, and St Helen. When his father died in 306 he was proclaimed successor to the throne. The empire was ruled at that time by several Caesars, each with his own territory. When Constantine learned that the Caesars Maxentius and Maximinus had joined against him, he marched on Italy. It was there that, on the eve of a decisive battle outside Rome, he saw in the sky a radiant Cross with the words "In this sign conquer."

In the final episode of this series, we speak to George Diwakar about a sermon he preached on Acts 19. We talked to George about apologetics, and how the Bible acts an apologetic for itself, as well as more widely about the book of Acts, its structure and its purpose. We were also joined by William Taylor and Tim Sheppard who contributed to the same teaching series on the book of Acts.   In this episode we feature a talk from George Diwakar, curate at St Helen's Bishopsgate on Acts 19:21-41. The talk explores the shallow nature of opposition to the Gospel and the underlying motives of those who would attack the kingdom of Jesus Christ. On Friday's episode, we'll be speaking to George more about this talk, and will be joined by pastors William Taylor and Tim Sheppard who also contributed to this series.   You can listen to the entire series on the book Acts here.   The Bible Matters Podcast is funded entirely by the generous donations of its listeners.

Archaeological evidence reveals a close relationship between people and the spiritual world back to the Bronze Age, often enacted through water. Springs often reveal ritual deposits, such as those found at the head of the Seine. It's unsurprising that humans would continue this water-based relationship via wells. For some scholars, wells had either a patron deity or a guardian spirit, which was later replaced by a saint or angel. For example, there is a suggestion that the Celtic water goddess Alauna became St Helen. But wells took on multiple functions, used to heal, curse, make wishes, and even divine. And, of course, people used them as a water source.  Let's take a look at some of these wells across the British Isles in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

Dick Lucas was the rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate for 34 years from 1961 to 1995 in which the church grew from a handful of people to one of the largest churches in the church of England.  Amongst the many initiatives Dick pioneered was a midweek ministry to the workers in the City of London which saw hundreds of attendees every single week and continues even today in Bible talks across the capital. In 1986 Dick started the Proclamation Trust which trains and encourages ministers in expositional Bible Teaching; the style of preaching which Dick himself became internationally renowned for. Now age 98, Dick still regularly records content of his own Bible study and teachings.   In this episode Tiff and Leo spoke to Dick about the story of how his ministry began, how it grew, and the principles he learnt along the way.

It's hard to ever truly know what's going on in someone's head. Most of us are fighting private battles, the details of which we don't disclose to even the dearest people to us. Trevor Farthing, who lived in St Helen's, Merseyside, was no stranger to mental anguish. Over the years, his long term partner Marie saw in front of her very eyes how the joyful and generous man she'd spent more than three decades with, could fall victim to bouts of acute anxiety and severe depression. There were times when it seemed as if Trevor was in charge, like when he was handcrafting something artistic in the back garden or going on a lengthy bike ride with Marie but there were others where his demons got the better of him, as they do of all of us from time to time. On June 21st, 2017, Trevor vanished. More than six years later, Marie is still searching for the answer to what happened that day.For more information on every episode from every series visit https://themissingpodcast.orgIf you love the show, and you want to hear more content like The Missing, then you should sign up to Crime Corner.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.
