BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Nicky Gumbel

Roy Jenkins meets Nicky Gumbel, the vicar in charge of the Alpha Course.

Roy Jenkins visits Nicky Gumbel, vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton, to discuss the Alpha Course, which is now in its 41st year.

Roy Jenkins visits the offices of Holy Trinity, Brompton, now one of the most famous churches in the world. It gave birth 40 years ago to the Alpha course, a way of exploring the Christian faith reckoned to have been followed by more than 29 million people in 169 countries and 112 different languages. More than 300 churches in Wales are running it at the moment.

The man who's been responsible for Alpha for the last 27 years is the Rev Nicky Gumbel. He's been described as one of the most influential Christians in the country. What's that like? What's he like? Roy meets him to find out.

This programme was first broadcast in February 2017.
