Church of England vicars Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to discuss the big stories of the week in both Church and State. This week: the Archbishop of Canterbury doubles down on the Church of England transgender affirming guidance to primary schools and announces that the Church will funnel £100 million pounds into reparation funds for historic links to slavery: righteous dealing or woke virtue-signalling at a time of grave financial need for front line churches and clergy? Prince Harry is denouncing the family and institutions from whence he came. What currents in modern thought and behaviour does he embody and is he is a paragon of wounded virtue or simply an ungrateful opportunist who is willing to sell his own family out for money?
We offer some scriptural on the men who built their houses on the rock and sand respectively, answer a Question the Rev on God's appearances in Scripture and much much more!
