At Your Service

Sunday, 23 May 2021 - 30 minutes

Manxman Brendan O'Friel spent his entire working life in seven different penal institutions, including Strangeways Prison in Manchester before and during the riots of 1990. He's just published a fascinatingly detailed and informative book which has already been acclaimed as essential reading for anyone considering a career in the prison system, and joins us on the programme to explore how his Catholic faith has informed his choices, value systems and general approach to his working life.

Brendan's book - Prison Governor's Journal - is available from Lexicon Bookshop, 63, Strand Street, Douglas IM1 2RL
It can also be ordered on line - www.prisongovernorjournal.com

And today is the Feast of Pentecost - often called the birthday of the Church, because it marks the coming of the Holy Spirit which transformed the disciples from frightened men into powerful teachers who, against all opposition, spread the message of love, hope and everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ - a message which remains true to this day. Reverend Alex Brown gives an eye-witness account of the events of that first Pentecost!

And we have Notice Board news too - items for inclusion on the Notice Board, and hymn choices for future programmes are all most welcome.
