Alexander Douglas doesn't play music to earn a living, he lives to play.  Yet as a jazz musician and composer, his style of music and the performing of it in a Christian environment is often at odds with the conservative attitudes of his church.  In this thought-provoking interview, Alex sets out his considered and sometimes complex arguments for jazz in a Christian context.  He is this week's guest on "In Conversation" on the Hope TV satellite channel and on the web at <www.hopetv.org.uk>.

New on the <www.hopetv.org.uk> website: Following the delight of Garth Anthony's first "In Conversation", the team were so engaged with his stories that they immediately sat down and conducted an "In Conversation Extra".  This second programme has more engaging tales of God's leading in mission fields and in family life.
