The power of poetry - and delivering the message - it's all there in this week's edition of At Your Service
X At Your Service
Sunday, 21 January 2024 - 31 minutes
Poet, Anglican priest, academic, singer/songwriter, lecturer and biker, Rev'd Dr Malcolm Guite made his first visit to the Island at the end of last year - and loved everything he saw. In the first part of an interview recorded during his visit, he talks about his childhood in Nigeria, and the power of poetry - to change the course of a life, and to take on a life of its own.
The second part of the interview will be included in another episode of the programme in a few weeks' time.
Norman Barron was born in 1909 and in 1958 became a fully accredited Local Preacher, serving the Methodist Church on the Island in a voluntary capacity for some 40 years. In a conversation recorded in 2000 when he was 91, Norman explains to David Callister how it all happened.
Our music today is on the theme of Christian Unity, as this is the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, and there's the usual notice board news too.
