An interview of P.H. by Eric Metaxas

Here is the video version of an interview I gave last summer (in St Aldate's Church*, Oxford) to the American author Eric Metaxas, who has published a powerful biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German Protestant leader and opponent of Hitler, murdered by the Nazis. Bonhoeffer, incidentally,was a close friend of the late Bishop George Bell of Chichester, whose reputation I am currently trying to defend, after the Church of England publicised anonymous allegations of child abuse made against him many years after his death. The interview is mainly, but by no means entirely, devoted to topics linked to religion.

*St Aldate must be the most obscure saint in the calendar. Almost nothing is known of him. His name now dignifies an Oxford street, the main southern route into the heart of Oxford,  formerly known as Fish Street - a name probably not grand enough for Christ Church, the grand and wealthy college which dominates it. TV dramas abnout Oxford usually mistakenly refer to it as 'St Aldgate's.
