Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith lives in retirement with his wife Arlette. Ordained into the Anglican church after the war, he edited Crusade magazine, was Secretary of CPAS, and became Bishop of Thetford and President of Evangelical Alliance. But he is most well-known as a hymn writer. EN had the opportunity to interview him at his home in the countryside just outside Salisbury.
Q: Could you begin by telling us how you became a Christian ?
A: It is not altogether a clear-cut story. My father ran a small school in Derbyshire. I was a pupil there and very happy. We were brought up to go to church and know Bible stories. But he died when I was 11. This really precipitated a sense of God.
