The People's Prayer - On Earth as in Heaven

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Dr. Jennifer Wiseman is a distinguished astrophysicist who spends her life looking to 'the heavens', studying the process of star and planet formation in our galaxy. Her scientific work is underpinned by the same sense of awe, wonder and humility that enriches her Christian faith. In this episode, she considers the line from the Lord's Prayer, 'on earth as in heaven', as it relates to her life and work.

In this series, six people reflect on Jesus' ministry, teaching and Passion from a deeply personal perspective focussing on words from The Lord's Prayer. These are words shared across Christian denominations but they go further; they are part of our culture and tradition. They express universal themes that speak to the hopes and dreams of humanity, bringing together both spiritual and physical needs.

It could really be thought of as The People’s Prayer.
