Growing up in apartheid South Africa, the young Keith Rosen knew little of England or of organised religion. Today, as The Fed's Religious Director, Reverend Rosen plays one of the most crucial roles in the pastoral care that the organisation carries out.

How this transformation came about is as fascinating as any story we've told on the podcast, and one which will surprise even the many people who count Revered Rosen as a colleague and friend.

Told in his warm, lilting Cape Town accent, Reverend Rosen takes us through his sports- and outdoor-mad upbringing under the shadow of Table Mountain, through the years of reintroduction to his Judaism and finally to an almost entirely spontaneous move to the UK.

Meaningful and emotionally charged, this episode of Humans of The Fed shines a light on one of the individuals whose work - often behind-the-scenes - is so vital to The Fed's success.
