Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs
Are you wondering how a Christian should respond to current events? What are we to think about a world that appears to be going absolutely mad? How are we to discern the signs of the times? In this podcast, featuring The Reverend Thomas Pelham, The Reverend Daniel French, The Reverend Doctor J.A. Franklin and the occasional guest, we attempt to give some answers. Email us at irreverendpod@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter @irreverendpod or on Telegram at https://t.me/irreverendpod. We also have a youtube channel which can be found by searching Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs!

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs
Revenge of the Establishment

Church of England vicars Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin get together to discuss this week's topic stories and talking points:
- Should there be ducks in baptismal fonts? You decide.
- Revenge of the Cathedral as Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News.
- Diane Abbott seems to have the lost the plot in racism gaffe debacle. Is she the victim of a cancel culture that she has helped to flourish in these days?
- GAFCON, an organisation representing 85% of the world's Anglicans, have met and decided to formally reject the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury over his support of gay blessings. We discuss.
A little bit more on Matthew Parris after my somewhat irascible riposte (https://thecritic.co.uk/the-problem-with-parris/), a question the rev on Christology and so much more as always.
