Fr Christopher Jamison to present breakfast show on Premier Radio

There will be a chance to hear Benedictine Fr Christopher Jamison every Monday morning throughout Lent, when he joins ‘Inspirational Breakfast’ on Premier Radio - beginning at 7am on Monday, 23 February.

Fr Christopher, former Abbot of Worth Abbey in West Sussex, became a familiar figure following the BBC 2 documentary series ‘The Monastery’. He is also the author of two books: ‘Finding Sanctuary’ -Monastic Steps for Everyday Life, and ‘Finding Happiness’ – Monastic Steps for a Fulfilling Life.'

The Australian-born monk will co-host Premier’s ‘Inspirational Breakfast’ show with resident presenter John Pantry, who said today: “Fr Christopher will be the first monk to present a programme on Premier and I look forward to sharing the show with him and our morning listeners.”

As the director of the National Office for Vocation, an office of the Roman Catholic Church, since 2010, Fr Christopher is responsible for creating a culture of vocation throughout the country. He said today: “I love radio, both to listen and to broadcast, but this will be my first experience of presenting on radio. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to engage with Premier’s listeners who are doing such a fantastic job sustaining this wonderful station.”

Premier Christian Radio broadcasts on 1305, 1332, 1431, 1566 MW in London and nationally on DAB and Freeview 725.
