Keith Burnside, radio and broadcast journalist at Ulster TV and BBC TV Ulster, retired after 44 years.
He elaborated on his faith in an interview on the BBC’s Sunday Sequence.
“My faith is important to me. I’m a regular churchgoer. I respect faith. I believe, and I continue to believe and pray.
“I wouldn’t be a very deep believer, but I trust prayer and I enjoy going to church, I enjoy the society and the events around church, I’m very much involved in all of the churches in my hometown,” Mr Burnside said.
