MIILIONS of listeners heard a Swindon voice on Radio Two's "Wake up to Wogan" programme yesterday.

Fidelma Meehan, a member of the Bahá'í Faith, presented the first of a series of four "Pause for Thoughts" on the show, which attracts around 2.5 million listeners every morning.

Fidelma, who works as the Bahá'í Projects co-ordinator, has been writing and presenting scripts for the past four years on Radio Two's late night slots. She did her first presentation on Terry Wogan's programme last October during One World Week.

She said: "It's wonderful to be invited back to do a short series for Pause for Thoughts on such a popular show. The last time I was on the programme, Terry was on holiday, so I'm looking forward to meeting him and to sharing some of the key teachings of the Bahá'í Faith with such a large audience."

The thoughts forcus on some of the key principles of the Bahá'í Faith, such as the oneness of all religions, the unity of humanity and the independent investigation of Truth.

Fidelma added: "The central message of the Bahá'í Faith is unity. Bahá’u’lláh, Founder of the Faith, taught that there is only one God, that the humna race is one family and that all the world's religions are one, representing one changeless and eternal Faith of God, and expressions of a single, unfolding Divine Plan."

Fidelma will present the other three broadcasts on Radio Two on April 5, April 12 and April 19. Fidelma has also been invited to do six Prayer for the Day presentations on BBC Radio 4, and these will begin on June 9.
