Sister Wendy Beckett
Sister Wendy and the Art
of the Gospel
Airs 9pm Sunday, May 12
The arresting sight of Sister Wendy Beckett,
all teeth and glasses, burst on to
our screens in the 1990s. An instant
star, she travelled the world in her habit
telling us the story of Christian art and
painting but revealing little of her own extraordinary
story. Arena goes in search
of the ‘real’ Wendy, who, at 82, talks
frankly, humorously, and profoundly about
her life and spirituality for the first time.
Wendy’s 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. In this film, we hear
for the first time of Wendy’s personal
journey to God, her insights on prayer
and suffering, and her reflections on
the contemporary world. Above all, she
connects us to the art that has helped
her to know herself and her faith.

4-H: Six Montana Stories Airs 7pm Thursday, May 9 Also airs
5/13 3am • Follow six young Montanans as they learn what 4-H is all about. It’s about refusing
to give up on the runt of the litter, staying up all night to bottle feed a sick calf while knowing
someday you’ll have to say goodbye. It’s about knowing where you’re headed but never forgetting
where you’ve been. And it’s about pledging your head, your heart, your hands, and
your health to help others. Pictured: Garret Jolma checks his gardening project at the fair
