He has appeared as himself in the Radio 4 docudrama, 'Mayday, Mayday' due to an incident that occurred the night he met his wife. He has also appeared on several TV shows as an audience member, most recently being reported globally for his questioning of the MP Michael Gove during the Brexit campaign. Following his Damascus road experience in 2012, Andrew attended a part time course in Theology at Trinity college Bristol and is due to complete a Higher diploma in Theology and Mission in early 2017. His interest in poetry has been life long, His Great Grandfather on his father side, (the famous Andrew Carnegie) , was a poet as well as being one of the Worlds richest men and on his mother side his much loved grandfather, Charlie Brown, wrote poetry. A poem written by him on his mothers birth certificate sparked Andrews interest at a young age however he never published anything. IN 2014 a dream told him to start writing Christian related poetry on Twitter, a medium he had never used, and very rapidly he amassed a growing number of followers. This has led to several commercial offers and Andrew is due to feature in a small way in an up and coming TV advertising campaign on ITV. Andrew loves sailing but also has a long history of diving with BSAC and PADi and hides badly a secret love of Morgan sports cars.)

The Best Poem Of Andrew C P Carnegie

We Forgot To Pray

Prayer

We forgot to pray today,
Our mutual supplication,
Benefaction via genuflection,
The midweek start to day,
And we forgot to pray.

We forgot that perfection,
Become a broken situation,
That our human condition,
Was of our own volition,
And we forgot to pray.

We forgot that God's promise,
Was not to be controlling,
But in a relationship evolving,
That God needs constant permission,
But we forgot to pray.

We forgot to see the simple things,
The rise of sun and dimple things,
Birdsong on a frosty mourn,
The breath of life that does adorn,
And we forgot to pray.

So as we forgot to pray,
Dear God thank you for this day,
Thank you for all that we survey,
That we are fearfully but wondrously made,
And sorry we forgot to pray.

@Andrew Carnegie, Apologetic in Wiltshire, January 5th 2017.
