What a privilege it was tonight to be joined in the studio by Giselle, Sarah and Polly. They all came from Ingatestone and were confirmed in Chelmsford Cathedral on Easter Eve. They spoke about why they had decided to make this step at this time in their lives. It had surprised a number of people that they knew. They talked about what an amazing experience the service had been. Polly said that she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Faith has clearly become a central part of their lives and we heard the difference this has made to them. If you missed it all, do please listen to the recording. We had a number of very positive reactions from listeners, including hearing about a confirmation in the Episcopal Church Cathedral in Nashville Tennessee.
In the news stories tonight the Police in New Zealand are rewarding good drivers. There was also the attempt for the World Ukulele playing record, with over 5,000 players in Tahiti, including the Prime Minister.
