From radio silence to trying

Radio Silence

A diligent diarist has delved into the past to remind Friends of an early radio broadcast.

Eye (11 November) related the reminiciences of ‘the first broadcast of Quaker worship… nearly forty years ago’ by David Winter, former head of religious broadcasting at the BBC.

However, Patricia Steel (née Holland), of Sutton Meeting, remembers another live radio broadcast of a Meeting for Worship; one that, as a twenty-four-year-old in Kingston Monthly Meeting, she detailed in her diary on 25 November 1956.
