Here at St Luke’s, we’re fortunate enough to have some great thinkers and speakers as our clergy. We think it would be selfish to keep them all to ourselves, so we occasionally loan them out to BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4, so others can share in their wisdom via the airwaves.
Dave Tomlinson (our vicar), Martin Wroe (our associate vicar) and Malcolm Doney (priest, former member and great friend of St Luke’s) all appear regularly on Pause For Thought and Thought For The Day.
If you’d like to catch up on their recent appearances, here are some links. Each one lasts just a few minutes, but these bite-sized nuggets of insight will give you something to ponder for the rest of the day…
