We broke one of our own rules of journalism recently when we said that we never heard Quakers on Thought for the Day (the rules are to never say that it is a first, or an exclusive, or that it doesn't happen anywhere). Since then a trickle of Friendly broadcasters from around the country have reminded us of their regular radio ministering. The latest to let us know is Ruth Pilkington of Jersey Meeting. Friends do a regular 'God slot' on Radio Jersey and are shaping up for one in National Quaker Week. Ruth urges Friends around the country to approach the local radio station for, as she rightly points out, Quakers get overlooked as 'silent' when it comes to faith broadcasting. It also seems that the local paper has a 'faith' page. That's unique - but we mustn't say that!
