My faith is part of who I am
Diane Louise Jordan is the go-to girl if you’ve got a shindig that needs a presenter with class, enthusiasm and quality.
It’s little wonder, then, that Christianity’s answer to the X Factor – Time2Shine – has recruited her considerable talents
She’s the hostess with the mostess, a regular on Songs of Praise, as well as the star of her own Radio 2 programme, The Sunday Hour. That said, Diane Louise Jordan is pretty down to earth.
How did you come to faith?
I came from a Christian family… You know, I actually always find that a very interesting question, because my faith is just a part of my life. I’m very grateful that I was brought up in a Christian family, even though I think I took it for granted when I was younger. When I was younger, everyone went to church, particularly if you came from a Caribbean family, but I think that for me, faith informs everything that I do. I can’t imagine living my life without that framework.
How do you take your faith to work?
I don’t really ever think like that. It’s sort of like someone saying to me: “How do you take being a girl, or being black into the workplace.” Well, I don’t know anything else. This is who I am, and part of what makes me who I am is my value system and my beliefs. I’m quite clear about this.
