After a ministry as parish priest, theological lecturer and Dean of Kings College, London he was Bishop of Oxford from 1987-2006. On his retirement he was made a life peer as Lord Harries of Pentregarth  and sits on the  crossbenches where he remains active in the House of Lords.  For more than 50 years he has been a regular contributor to ‘Thought for the Day’ on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
