12 May 2026

The Rev'd Dan Pierce, who serves as a Priest in Charge of several parishes in the Chelmsford Deanery, has made a short film with the Bible Society as part of their series 'The Climb'. 

'Blessed are they that mourn'

The film in which Dan gives a powerful and moving account about his funeral ministry, is one of an eight-part documentary series by the Bible Society exploring the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).

Released in early 2026, the films examine what a "good life" looks like today by featuring diverse personal stories and reflections on themes like humility, mourning, mercy, and persecution. Dan's film can be watched below
