Songs of Praise

I like to watch a program called Songs of Praise on BBC. It comes on every Sunday night. Songs are interspersed with testimonies or other stories of faith. Sometimes the show focuses on a particular place (fishing village in Scotland; neighborhood in London). Sometimes it centers on a theme (being alone; ecology; Pentecost). This past Sunday, I got to wondering whether they ever had difficulty coming up with fresh ideas. I'd like to suggest they do a Romany theme sometime. They could interview Romany immigrants from the Czech Republic who've moved to Ireland. They could interview members of the Kalderash-speaking church in London who make a living replating and polishing silver. They could talk with Romanichal, Romany who have lived in Britian for centuries. And they would get some really rousing songs of praise. To hear some yourself, check out http://www.lgcuk.com/london. And I'll let you know if the BBC ever follows up on the idea.
