Women of Faith

To mark International Women's Day, Claire McCollum visits Glasgow to uncover stories of women of faith throughout the ages, including Glasgow's very own St Enoch. Claire traces the roots of the saint, visiting the St Enoch shopping centre in the heart of the city and meeting theologian Helen Bond. They find out how Enoch, a Scottish princess in the 6th century, survived attempted murder and rape before giving birth to Glasgow's founder, Saint Mungo.

Claire and Helen visit an impressive mural of St Enoch in the city and discuss why more is not known about women of faith in Christian history. Helen talks about fascinating stories of female biblical figures who played a fundamental role in the church's foundation but of whom little or nothing is known.

Laura Wright meets Glaswegian women who are putting their faith into action, including Bayile Adeoti, the creator of a social enterprise that helps women overcome the boundaries to success in business. Also, on Glasgow's south side, Laura meets Audrey Flannagan, the manager of a Trussell Trust food bank, and finds out how faith drives her passion for social justice.

Hymns feature congregations across Scotland.
