Bradford Friars to star in BBC documentary

    Franciscan friars from a friary in Bradford will star in a BBC documentary tonight.

    The five bearded men-of-God will feature in a fly-on-the-wall film, Bronx to Bradford: Friars on a Mission, which explores modern day friars at work.

    The Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal has been based in Bradford for the past decade and seeks to serve the poor of the city, opening its doors to the homeless and operating a soup kitchen.
