David Wilkinson

[gentle music] My name is Professor Andrew C. Scott, and in this series I am talking to scientists about their journeys in both science and faith.

My guest today is Professor Reverend David Wilkinson.

David Wilkinson is an astrophysicist, theologian, a Methodist minister, who's been a professor in the Department of Theology and Religion, and the principal of St. John's College in the University of Durham, and is a director of Equipping Christian Leadership in the Age of Science, and a regular contributor to Thought for the Day on the BBC.

David, welcome.

It's nice to see you.

I think that's one thing we should end on to say that throughout life we're learning every day and it never goes away.

There's always something more to learn.

So David Wilkinson, thank you so much for your time in this and thank you again to our listeners.

Time for Thought for the Day.

The speaker this morning is the Reverend David Wilkinson, Professor of Theology and Religion at St John's College, University of Durham.

Good morning.

Stunning pictures of the spectacular colours of the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights.

whether it's profound awe at the beauty of the universe or, for the person of faith, the glory of God.

And that was Thought

for the Day with the Reverend David Wilkinson.

It felt like everything I believed in was suddenly collapsing.
