Broadcaster Jeremy Vine says he feels unable to speak openly about his Christian faith at the BBC, for fear it would be seen as ‘contentious.’
Speaking to the BBC Radio 3 programme, Private Passions, he said, ‘I definitely have a faith. Christ is probably who he said he was. I just so rarely say that in a BBC building. I just feel it is so contentious to say that. I think the Bible stories are incredible and if it was a hoax I want to know who wrote it and I will follow them instead.’
In 2017, he described himself as ‘the worst evangelical ever’, admitting, ‘There were verses in the Bible I really struggled with. You must love the Lord with all your heart and mind and soul and strength and there’s nobody in the world who does that.’
