: THE LAY MISSIONARY
Talk by H. B. T. HollandAt a conference of Missionary Societies in Willingen in 1952, the suggestion was made that Christian laymen who are going into mission areas for their work should be trained to act as lay missionaries. This is something more than learning how to conduct services as lay preachers. It involves studying the opportunities for Christian witness in various parts of the world. Since the Willingen conference Dr. Harry Holland has been arranging courses and conferences to equip Christian laymen for this important task. In this talk he tells something of what he has so far done.

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
