Eye was delighted to hear that Westminster Friends recently appeared in a BBC World Service programme Heart and Soul. A specially convened Meeting for Worship was recorded at a BBC studio for the programme. Jennifer Kavanagh of London West AM was interviewed for the programme, broadcast in June. One Friend at Westminster was heard to jokingly ask if any others had heard him being silent in the programme!

The Friend often runs reviews of TV and radio programmes of interest to Quakers, but readers ask us to let them know in advance about these programmes (Eye is mindful of those without the clever ‘play it again’ technology, or without the skill to operate it).

But this is tricky – we don’t always know ourselves, and the broadcasting public relations people only tell us in advance of major religious series or programmes. So if readers spot in references to coming programmes a known Quaker interest, please email the information to editorial[at]thefriend.org.
