I was pleased to be able to contribute something to this week's edition of BBC Radio 4's 'Sunday Worship' programme. It was also good to able to involve a few fellow God's Squad members and a good friend as we recorded our contributions on the road in Paul's pub in Shrewsbury. You also get to hear Jayne's voice too.
It was lovely to be able to include Nancy Honeytree's song Pioneer, which my old friend Smithy put me onto years ago, a gentle reminder to keep going. I wonder too if it is the first time a Springsteen track has featured on Sunday Worship?
Other contributions from a Graffiti artist Stephen Lamb and Animal Ethics academic Dr Clair Linzey made for a diverse range of reflection and opinion to weave together.
Grateful to producer Alexa Good for being so helpful to work with on this.
You can listen to the programme here for the next few weeks
