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
Time to Drop "Church"?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin talks about the big issues of church and state. This time: the Church of England seems to think that we need to drop the word "church", to stay "relevant". Is this strategy theological coherent and will it work to reach the younger generations?
The Rev'd Dr Bernard Randall's case continues to cast an awful light on the senior leadership of the CofE as top KC says that the Archbishop of Canterbury exceeding his power by blocking Randall from appealing against his bishop, Debby Lane.
And controversial cleric Brett Murphy is kicked out of the Free Church of England. Is there anywhere that faithful priests can go where they will not be persecuted?
That plus your emails and a question on the relationship of Freemasonry and Christianity.
