Living with the Gods: The Power of Song

Series 1, episode 10

Neil MacGregor focuses on a Kirchenpelz or church fur - a sheepskin coat made in the late 19th century in Transylvania, now part of Romania, for the German-speaking Saxon community. To wear this coat was to proclaim in public an allegiance to the Lutheran Church, and identity as a Transylvanian Saxon. Neil also reflects on the importance and power of communal singing within the Lutheran Church and elsewhere
