Reverand Peter Thomas (Baptist)

Click here to listen to the interview

Last week we had Reverand Peter Thomas from the Brentwood Baptist Church who came on the show and spoke to us about his beliefs and the many roles he has in the church. Peter is the local minister at the Baptist Church on Kings Road but is also the secretary for the “Churches Together in Brentwood”. The Churches Together in Brentwood is a collective of 21 congregations including the cathedral and has around 6000-7000 members.

Peter was on Phoenix FM last year promoting his book "Making Disciples One-to-One - Courses for Christian Growth" on the Oliver Rowe show and was also present at the official opening of Phoenix FM so is a good friend of the station.

Peter told us the core beliefs and how it differs to other Christian churches, also telling us why Baptists are called Baptists, listen to the interview for more details. We also spoke about the question:
What is a Christian? Apart from speaking twice every Sunday and ministering to 150 people a week, Peter is also a father and husband so keeps himself extremely busy.

One interesting fact about Reverand Thomas is that one week of his sabbatical last year was spent on a week-long retreat when silence was the rule observed by all.  For this and everything else just click on the link above to hear the interview.

If you want to come along to the Brentwood Baptist Church anyone is welcome along on Sundays at 10.30am or in the evening at 6.30pm.

Hi Vera, thanks for the comment, we are having a schedule re-jig in the next couple of weeks and Proverbs 98 will be moving to a new time slot of 8-10pm on a Wednesday, so slightly later but twice as long.

Thanks for listening.

Really enjoying the show, great music and chat. The introductions to each religion are really intersting, it's great to know more about the community. I'm just sorry the show is so short.
