BT 28.2.24 bridges

The transcription begins with the lyrics of the song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel. The hosts of a BT Magazine show discuss the song's significance to Christians and its connection to Jesus. The Thought for the Week segment discusses the importance of trees and their symbolism in biblical creation stories. The tree of knowledge of good and evil represents seeking quick knowledge and the tree of life represents eternal sustenance. The segment highlights the benefits of urban trees and emphasizes the need to appreciate and protect them. The segment concludes with a poem about trees. The hosts then move on to a quiz about the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. The segment ends with the hosts discussing the song "Your Love is the Bridge" by Casting Crowns and its message about God's love and the Christian faith. The show transitions to a different program called the Country Hour. When you're weary, feelin' small When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all I'm on your side Oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so far I will comfort you I'll take your part Oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Hello, this is your BT Magazine show. I'm Peter. Yes, and I'm Jenny. It's lovely to be with you again for this hour. Now, even if you were not around when that song we just played, Bridge Over Troubled Water, first came out, I'm sure you would have heard it. It's a fantastic song, isn't it? The music and the words, very evocative, by Simon and Garfunkel. The songwriter may not have thought it was anything to do with Jesus and Christianity, but many Christians love it and we can put God in it. In a minute, you'll find out, well, a few minutes, you will find out why did we play that at the beginning today. Now, what's coming next? And now, for the Thought for the Week for the Keynsham Talking Newspaper. Hello, my name is Kevin Durrant and I'm the Minister of Keynsham Baptist Church. This is the last of my five epilogues for the month of February on the subject of trees. So today, I'd like to round off the thoughts we've been having about the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits which trees bring to us. I mentioned in the first epilogue that I would come back to the two special trees which appear in the biblical creation stories. The first mentioned is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, whose fruit Adam and Eve were warned not to eat. It seems strange that they should be forbidden to seek knowledge, but I think it's because eating from this tree represented a grabbing at a certain kind of knowledge, the kind that consists of cold facts which can be gathered quickly and used selfishly. Whereas instead, God wanted human beings to aim for a deeper knowledge which could only be gained over time through developing a relationship with him. The other tree mentioned is the tree of life, whose life-giving fruit Adam and Eve were enjoying until the moment they disobeyed God, at which point access to the tree was denied, causing their bodies to start ageing and eventually die. But the dream remained that one day human beings might once again be able to eat from the tree of life. A dream that expressed itself in the trees carved into the panelled walls of the Jerusalem temple and in the seven-branched golden candlestick that stood like an ever-shining tree in the temple courts. Christians think it's significant that the cross on which Jesus was crucified is sometimes referred to by New Testament writers as a tree, maybe because it was through being hung on its painful branches that Jesus himself became the tree of life, the source of God's eternal sustenance for all who believed in him. The tree of life makes its final appearance in the very last chapter of the Bible, where it spans the main street of the New Jerusalem, down which flows refreshing water from the throne of God. We're told it will bear fruit all year round and its leaves will be for the healing of the nations. I find its urban location very significant, given the uproar we've seen in recent years over the felling of trees lining the streets in some of our cities. Perhaps the worst example was in Sheffield, where between 2012 and 2018, over 3,000 trees were chopped down despite the desperate pleas and brave resistance of the residents. Then, last March, 110 trees adorning the centre of Plymouth were chainsawed under cover of darkness, despite 16,000 people signing a petition to save them. Those campaigners weren't just conscious of the visual pleasure the trees gave them, they also knew that living close to trees improved their physical and mental health. Furthermore, these trees were absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. In a single season, one mature leafy tree can produce enough oxygen for 10 human beings to breathe for a year. Urban trees also help to soak up the noxious gases emitted by road transport, and because each mature tree can absorb 450 litres of water through its roots every day and capture rainfall on the surface of its leaves, their presence offers a degree of protection from flooding. Plus, urban trees provide a haven for the limited wildlife that still manages to survive within our towns and cities. In the light of all this, isn't it reassuring that God's plan for the future involves the earth being like a beautiful, multicultural city whose year-round food and healing is provided by the fruit and leaves of a life-giving tree? That's why we need to treasure and appreciate the trees we have around us now. Not only are they glorious in themselves, delighting our senses, but they do so much to enhance our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. In addition, as we've seen in earlier epilogues, trees offer us a challenging image of hospitality in the way they act as hosts to so many other species of plant and animal life. And, through their rebirth every spring, they give us hope that our lives may also experience rejuvenation, however bleak the circumstances we face might be. So, thank you for sharing this arboreal journey with me, and I'd like to close by reading you a short poem by Jane Hirshfield. It's simply called Tree. It is foolish to let a young redwood grow next to a house. Even in this one lifetime you will have to choose that great calm being, this clutter of soup pots and books. Already the first branch tips brush at the window. Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life. Would you heal me to the hardwood cutter? Would you lay me low beneath your feet? Listen to my sad mutter. Here my heart would beat. Would you throw me on the log pile cutter? Would you toss me to the steel saw blade? Listen to my please letter. Here my heart would break. Would you lean your back against me, cutter? Would you rest your axe while I sleep? Listen to the song I utter. Here my heart would weep. Here my heart would... Here my heart would... Here my heart would... Here my heart would... I drink the rain. I eat the sun. I get the breath that fills your lungs. I hear the roaring engines rumble. But I cannot run. Would you heal me to the hardwood cutter? Would you lay me low beneath your feet? Listen to my sad mutter. Here my heart would beat. Here my heart would... Here my heart would... Here my heart would... Thank you, Kevin, for choosing that beautiful, gentle music and for giving us all five thoughts for the week for the month of February. Now, that song was actually called Spell Songs, sung first by Heartwood and recorded live at the Natural History Museum. As Kevin mentioned in his words, it's all about the trees chopped down in Sheffield, Plymouth. Now, you may understand why we played Bridge over Troubled Water earlier. Today, for our Just for Fun quiz, we have some questions written by two of our grandsons, Arthur and Levi, who actually went on a visit to London recently. But maybe that's another story. So, here is one of their questions. Number one, how long is the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol? Is it 25 metres, 27 metres or 32 metres long? I wonder if you're into your metres. Now, whatever you make of the song Bridge over Troubled Water, we've got a song now about bridges as well. And this one is definitely about God. And it is called Your Love is the Bridge and is sung here for us by Casting Crowns. The world's getting darker by the day I'm on my knees but don't know what to pray The broken things that broken people do There's no one just how far you came for me Gives me hope for every soul I meet There's no one so far gone that you can't reach So reach through me Let them see, Lord, let them see Your love is the bridge you built with a cross And your truth is the light that searches for the lost And your grace won't stop reaching Your mercy won't let go Your love is the bridge And your truth leads us home Home You lead us home Home You never told the broken they were whole You spoke the truth that healed their broken soul You'd never leave us here to fight alone With love we earn the right to speak your truth It's not just what we say, it's what we do I wanna be a bridge that leads to you So reach through me Let them see, Lord, let them see Your love is the bridge you built with a cross And your truth is the light that searches for the lost And your grace won't stop reaching Your mercy won't let go Your love is the bridge And your truth leads us home Home You lead us home Home No rescue so relentless No greater love than this Where sin leaves a canyon Your love builds a bridge No rescue so relentless No greater love than this Where sin leaves a canyon Your love builds a bridge No rescue so relentless No greater love than this Where sin leaves a canyon Your love builds a bridge Your love builds a bridge Your love is the bridge you built with a cross And your truth is the light that searches for the lost And your grace won't stop reaching Your mercy won't let go Your love is the bridge Your love is the bridge No rescue so relentless No greater love than this Where sin leaves a canyon Your love builds a bridge What great words there are in that song. So deep, so important. You know, every religion in the world is about trying to build a bridge between us and God. In some way or another. And the Christian faith is the only religion which describes the way that God has actually set up that bridge for us. One of our good friends, David Brisington, produces a very different show on this radio station. Let's hear him tell you all about it. Hi, I'm Dave Brisington and it's my pleasure to present the Country Hour on KTCR 105.8 FM. You will hear classic country hits, old and new, plus news on local clubs and gigs. Looking forward to spending this hour with you. Until then, keep it country. Keep it country. You're listening to Believe Together. A Churches Together and KCM and Salford production for KTCR FM 105.8 and online. Now for some what songs. We do seem to have rather a lot of what songs at the moment. All sorts of things starting to come up. So I wonder, where do you keep a record of events coming up? Do you have a paper calendar or diary? Or do you use your phone? Or do you write things on a scrap of paper to keep it all in your head? Or where? Well, I keep mine in a paper diary. Let's see what's coming up. Right. If you know anyone with a life-limiting illness or associated bereavement, Dorothy House Hospice Care are now holding weekly support group meetings at Community at 67 in Queen's Road, Keynsham on Thursdays from 10 to 12 midday. The community-based drop-in sessions are there to provide support for anyone affected by a life-limiting illness or associated bereavement. Until now, those in Keynsham or nearby wanting to attend such a support group have had to travel a long way to places such as Bradford-upon-Avon. This group will provide an opportunity to connect with other people in a similar situation with support to the staff from Dorothy House and volunteers. So please, if you know someone with a life-limiting illness or associated bereavement, do tell them about this weekly drop-in group. Refreshments are available. So that's in Community at 67 in Queen's Road, Keynsham on Thursdays from 10 to 12 noon. Now, the Women's World Day of Prayer has now become the World Day of Prayer for everyone. And it's this Friday, the 1st of March. The theme this year has been written by the Christian community in Palestine. So if you're interested in praying along with them, why not look it up online? Faith in Action. There's a monthly service to be held at St. Francis Church where we hear from local Christians involved in social action. The service is on the first Sunday of the month at 9.30 in the morning, preceded by breakfast. Sunday, the 3rd of March, Fostering and Adoption is the subject. David Kingswood from Home for God, no, Home for Good, will be talking about the value of being a foster parent. Sunday, the 7th of April, the subject is Beloved. Julia Busfield, Director of Beloved, supports women working in the indoor sex industry. Now, Cafe Bains. I haven't heard of that before, but I've just read about it. And this is what it says. Christian Action for the Environment in Bath and North East Somerset. This is an ecumenical group of folk who meet monthly with guest speakers, usually in Bath-based churches. Martin Palmer is a theologian living locally, but with a worldwide experience of working with and reflecting on conservation and faith. He has worked with the Alliance of Religions and Conservation and with Faith Invest. On Monday, the 4th of March, Martin will be speaking at the Queen's Road Methodist Church in Keynesham at 7.30pm. His talk will be Are We Part of Nature? or Apart from Nature? The Real Crisis We Face. All are warmly invited. And now, looking forward a little bit, something completely different. A book launch. This is on Saturday, 16th of March, in Keynesham Baptist Church at 10 o'clock in the morning until 12 noon. You can drop in any time. It's a new book from Trevor Stubbs, the author of Stardust and The Kicking Tree. So, what's in the book? Well, real teenagers tell us what it's like as they tackle the questions Who am I? And what next? But there is a storyline. On the edge of town lies a large council estate, the home of Tabitha, a 13 year old. As she grows into her teenage years, her nemesis, Griff Green, continues to bully her. But now, as their hormones kick in, things take on different new dimensions. Unlike Stubbs' previous novels, this is a book about teenagers rather than for them. Proceeds from the book sales go to the Churches Together appeal to fund the Wellsway School chaplaincy. All are welcome to drop in. Just rock up at any time between 10 and 12 and you can have a chat with the author and probably get a signed copy if you're interested.

It was picking up on that question from Trevor's book, Who Am I? That was indeed about who God says I am And brought to us by Hillsong And now it's time for our Just For Fun quiz Time for question two Right, here's another question from the children about bridges And this time it's about one of the bridges in London This is the question When was Tower Bridge opened? Was it 1900, 1910 or 1920? Well Peter, that was a bit before my time I have no idea, but I'm sure we'll find out soon Now, last week I mentioned my leprosy calendar verse for February Which is, we love him because he first loved us But silly me, I should have mentioned the lovely picture that accompanies that verse on my calendar It's a picture of elephants Now, so many people really love elephants Well, they might not love real ones, but they love collecting models or pictures of them But I didn't mention it Now, elephants are the largest living land animals There are three living species currently recognised Two from Africa and one from Asia But there is so much we could say about elephants, isn't there? So, as World Elephant Day is not until Monday the 12th of August Maybe we should leave all the lovely stuff about elephants until then Perhaps we'll have an elephant special, eh? That sounds like a great idea Okay, but thinking about our God's love for us Let's play No Longer Slaves Sung here by Jonathan David Helser and Melissa Helser from Bethel You unravel me with a melody You surround me with a song A deliverance from my enemies You're all my fears, Lord I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God No, my mother knew But I chose a knee Love has called my name I've been born again To a family Blood flows through my veins I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God Oh, oh, oh, oh You set my feet so I can walk right through My fears are drowned in filthy love You rescued me so I can stand and sing I am a child of God You set my feet so I can walk right through My fears are drowned in filthy love You rescued me so I can stand and sing I am a child of God I am a child of God Yes, I am a child of God Yes, I am a child of God And now it's time for our Just for Fun quiz And time for question three Thank you, Blaise We have the final question from the children for this week Again it's about bridges And once more it's from the Greater London Area Here it is What's the name of London's oldest bridge?
