Arena: Sister Wendy and the Art of the Gospel

Arena goes in search of the 'real' Sister Wendy Beckett, who burst on to screens in the 1990s, telling the story of Christian art and painting, but revealing little of her own extraordinary story. Wendy herself, 82, talks frankly, humorously and profoundly about her life and spirituality for the first time. Her story, inseparable from that of the Gospel, is told alongside her selection of paintings by the greatest old masters, revealing the emotional insights they have given her. Telling for the first time the story of Wendy's personal journey to God, her insights on prayer and suffering and her reflections on the contemporary world as well as the art that has helped her to know herself and her faith.
