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.

Forgiveness and Hate at the Charlie Kirk Funeral

September 26, 2025 • J.A. Franklin, T.J. Pelham, Daniel French

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down to talk about the biggest issues in Church and state. This time:

The Charlie Kirk Funeral: Erika Kirk forgives but Trump offers only hatred for his enemies. Is the right in danger of engaging in the politics of hate too?
Church leaders condemn the Unite the Kingdom march as "far-right", but is this a fair characterisation?
Bishops applaud recognition of Palestinian statehood and call Israel an occupying power.
And Malthusians arguments made in the House of Lords for assisted suicide.

All that and a little more as ever. Please enjoy!
