Podcast #056: Patrick Sookhdeo – An immigrant story
The 1960s in Britain are popularly associated with black and white television, The Beatles, a sexual revolution and England winning the football World Cup in 1966. But what was it like for those who came as outsiders to England at that time?
One such person who came in 1959 at the age of 12 with his family was Patrick Soohdeo.
Patrick is Director of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity as well as the International Director of Barnabas Fund. The latter is an interdenominational Christian charity that supports Christians who face discrimination because of their faith. It was established in 1993 and channels aid through national Christians to more than 60 countries around the world. He campaigns for the abolition of Islamic apostasy laws around the world and has written to date 33 books.
Patrick is married to Rosemary, who is from New Zealand, and they have three grown-up daughters.
Do join us on this podcast interview with Patrick where we discuss:
Much of Patrick’s experiences make for disturbing listening, but it is a story that needs to be told. Indeed it is remarkable how much the UK and the church has changed for the better in terms of race relations since the 1960s.
You can access the podcast below or at Making Sense of Life on iTunes here.
The Barnabas Fund website is here.
Patrick’s latest book, “Hated Without A Reason: The Remarkable Story of Christian Persecution Over The Centuries” is a history of persecution from the first century to the present day.
