A leading BBC journalist was recently offered money to take elocution lessons, because her accent comes from the north of England.

Will local accents be lost in the age of globalisation? Should people with distinct accents modulate or soften them to be understood (or befriended)?

Mal Fletcher addresses these questions in this interview with BBC Radio's Mike Parr.

I was only able to attend one of your meetings in Spain, but I really needed to hear what Mal Fletcher had to say. His message was brilliant. Thank you so much for coming!

Next Wave is certainly making a huge difference, bringing out the truth about a Christian worldview, equiping the church & helping give believers the insight to stand against a tide of postmodernism.
