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
Revisiting Israel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Church of England revs Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down to talk about the most pressing issues of church and state. This time:
- British aid workers killed in Gaza. Is the moral case against Israel's war efforts becoming clearer?
- Attempts to decriminalise abortion resurface. We respond to a debate on the subject featuring pro-choice activist Ann Furedi.
- The European Court of Human Rights rules that Switzerland must do more to protect its citizens from climate change.
- And a listener asks us to discuss our views on the death penalty.
That and much, much more as ever. Enjoy!
