Listen to my talk to Nigeria's bishops via EWTN's Celtic Connections

As readers will recall, earlier this month I gave an address to the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria. You can now listen to my talk courtesy of EWTN's Celtic Connections programme, presented by Kathy Sinnott, the Irish former MEP and a good friend of SPUC.

About Me

I became involved in SPUC after graduating, when I established a branch in south London in 1974. I have worked full-time for SPUC for 42 years. I became chief executive of SPUC in the UK in 1996, having been general secretary since 1978. I was elected vice-president of International Right to Life Federation in 2005. At UN conferences in Cairo, Copenhagen, Beijing, Istanbul and Rome, I helped coordinate more than 150 pro-life/pro-family groups resulting in pro-life victories in Cairo, Istanbul and Rome. I was educated at Salesian College, London, before going to Oxford where I graduated in English Language and Literature. I qualified as a teacher, becoming head of English at a secondary school. I am married to Josephine. We have a grown-up family and we live in north London.
