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.

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs
Church & State Debate, Vitriol at "The Unvaccinated", Abortion & Society - Reverends in Conversation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Church of England revs Tom and Jamie sit down to talk about the big events of the day. We review the worrying level of vitriol that is being directed towards the unvaccinated in the media and look at a recent argument made by The Gospel Coalition that vaccine passports should be allowed in churches. In a more edifying section, we read about the story of St Charles Borromeo, whose response to the late sixteenth century plague in Milan was quite different to that of our church leaders today. We also talk about a recent article by Carl Trueman and Alexandra Desanctis, which argues that the right to abort one's children is a denial of the humanity of women. Our email of the week deals with the question of tithing and the role that money plays in the life of a believer.
Our Scripture this week is taken from Romans 13:1-7, through which we consider the relationship and obligations of the individual believer to the state.
