Description

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about a packed couple of weeks of news. This time:

  • The Covid Enquiry says it should have all been harder, faster and quicker. Guess what our reaction is?
  • Rev Kate Bottley hits the headlines for saying she watches reality TV and has doubts. But is this the best approach to ministry today?
  • Christian Nationalism is all the rage in the media. Why now and how should the church respond to the resurgence of interest in Christianity?
  • And the right to jury trial is being curtailed by David Lammy, who only five years ago was saying that it was a cornerstone of the British constitution. What is going on?

All that, a discussion about how to prepare for the Second Coming of Christ and much more as ever. Enjoy!
