God Is Love
Claire McCollum discovers the extraordinary romantic history of Gretna Green and explores different expressions of God鈥檚 gift of love.
Claire McCollum visits Gretna Green in Scotland as she explores different expressions of God鈥檚 gift of love.
Looking forward to St Valentine鈥檚 Day, Claire discovers the extraordinary 275-year history of love and marriage at Gretna Green, from young lovers eloping in the 18th century through to the 3,000 couples who still get married in the tiny border village each year. She meets one of the team of local ministers who conduct hundreds of weddings each year and tries her hand at sugar craft with a Christian wedding cake designer.
Claire also meets the parents who made history as the first same-sex couple in Scotland to be approved for adoption. Together they reflect on how becoming a family of five has deepened their understanding of love and faith.
With hymns and songs from across the UK, all celebrating God鈥檚 gift of love.
