Church calls special prayer meeting to save BBC’s soul

 
13 November 2012

So deep is the crisis at the BBC that the Lord has been summoned. All Souls Church on Langham Place, next to Broadcasting House, has organised a special prayer evening for the soul of the Corporation this Thursday, led by Andrew Graystone, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Daily Service. And Graystone has even written a prayer:

“Help them to reach for the highest professional standards, especially when budgets are stretched, time is tight, and competition increasing.

“May they resist the temptation to follow the consensus, jump to easy conclusions, pander to prejudice or cut corners.

“Help us, who read, watch, listen and contribute to the BBC, to play our part by being wise and discerning, so that truth and beauty will be the hallmarks of our media.

“We offer this prayer in the Name of the One who brought the Good News, declared himself as the Truth, and gave Himself for a world in need.”

Amen.
