    Nigel Goodwin was born in 1937. He studied at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London in 1958 and in 1959 he began his acting career. From 1959 to 1964 he worked in theater, film, T.V. and radio. In 1964, he studied Theology at All Nations Christian College in Hertfordshire. In the spring of 1965, he was given a vision for the Arts Centre Group and in 1971, he and his wife opened their home to those in the world of the arts, media and entertainment industries for discussions, Bible study, prayer, encouragement and networking over delicious meals. In the summer of 1967 he began studies at L’Abri, Switzerland with Dr. Francis Schaeffer and Prof. Hans Rookmaaker. In 1982, Genesis Arts Trust was formed in response to the increasing work Nigel found himself involved with internationally and as an organization to support Christians in the arts. He has helped to found arts groups across Europe as well as in the United States, Australia, and South Africa. In 1994, Nigel and his wife moved the base of this work to the Isle of Wight. Their home on the island is used as a retreat for those of influence in the media and arts. Nigel travels internationally, preaching, teaching, lecturing and leading workshops on the media and arts. Nigel and his wife Gillian are the parents of three children. He was interviewed in Wheaton, Illinois, by Mark Neal. Mark Neal: I’d like to begin with a comment you made yesterday. You said that modern technology has stopped us looking for fear of engagement, from listening for fear of hearing something.
