Church of England revs with a difference Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest stories in Church and state. This time:
- Michael Gove's new definition of extremism.
- Should we be wishing Muslims "Ramadan Mubarak"?
- Why are our parishes bleeding volunteers?
- The Archbishop of Canterbury's "Difference" course.
- One listener's experience of Mothering Sunday.
And much much more as ever!
