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.

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs
COP-Out 28
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham, Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time:
- The CofE's questionable Christmas campaign Follow the Star.
- Activist Jayne Ozanne says that repentance is not essential to Christianity.
- Diocesan Bishop breaks ranks and does not commend the new prayers of Love and Faith because they constitute a departure from the teaching of the CofE.
- Rev'd Alice Goodman describes presiding over gay blessing as "ultimate joy".
- UK Covid enquiry not interested in cost-benefit analysis.
- Elite US universities cannot say whether calling for genocide of Jews is harassment.
- Satanic idol set up in US state building in Idaho.
- Irish teacher jailed for not using transgender pronouns and showing up at school after firing.
- COP 28 on the verge of "embarrassing" failure after (surprise, surprise) oil-rich UAE declines to promise to stop producing fossil fuels by 2050.
