A Change, rung by the Guild of Bellringers

An anthem sung by the Choir

Rage, abrasion, disruption, disturbance—these are the words the Rev Francis Gerald Downing uses to describe the actions of the Holy Spirit in his adaptation of the Pentecost hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, sung here by the Choir of St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow. In this time of unrest, let our eyes and ears be open to the injustice, the disparity and the systems of oppression that dishonour God’s creation, asking the Holy Spirit to “disrupt and right our unjust ways”.
