Faith and Mountains: 60 Years of the Christian Mountain Centre

All Things Considered

Available for 28 days

Steph Bevan marks sixty years of the Christian Mountain Centre in Eryri, exploring why time outdoors can be life‑changing for young people and transformative for faith. From kayaking and climbing on the North Wales coast to moments of stillness that prompt reflection and prayer, Steph visits the centre at Pensarn Harbour and speaks to staff about their vision for outdoor education in a time of rising anxiety and shrinking opportunities. She also meets CMC founder, mountaineer and minister Mike Perrin, who reflects on the centre’s beginnings in the 1960s and the belief that the mountains can open hearts in ways buildings sometimes cannot. An exploration of nature, community and the enduring pull of adventure on the spiritual life.
