Joker in the Pack

David Jenkins is the Church of England's most controversial bishop. Before he was appointed Bishop of Durham, while walking on Holy Island, Northumberland, he saw a playing card lying face down. Before he picked it up he knew what it would be - the Joker. He remembers thinking, 'I bet God's playing a trick on me!' Tonight he reflects on the questions and criticisms that he has provoked and, in the light of the Easter story, on his personal beliefs. 'What it comes down to is that I simply believe in God. I believe that there is a presence who is basically infinitely worthwhile and deeply caring.'
