What do you do whens someone on TV infuriates you? Pray for them says producer and journalist for Television New Zealand, Tim Wilson.
Wilson says a mutual distrust exists between the churches and the media. He says prayer as the way forward.
“I find that prayer connects me with God, but also connects me with my colleagues,” Wilson said.
“I see them in a different way if I’m more prayerful through the day.”
“So I think that if people pray for the media they might start to see us in a different way as well.”
Another media personality Si Barnett says he is sad to say that some of the most vicious criticism he has received came from people who call themselves Christian.
