    I like Thought For The Day, but (some times more than others) am put off when the voice of the clergyman appears to belong, even just slightly, to a world of hypocrisy and pretend-holiness. The quality of voice this morning was different, it sounded completely secular, so much so that I was reminded of how extraordinary that vicars and priests tend to put on a voice when they pray. I really liked the content too, and that is why I searched out the name Kelvin Holdsworth on the web. Good luck with your ministry, you have made a small but significant difference in my life this morning.
