Carnage in Israel

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the big stories in church and state.
Serious geopolitical events are dominating the headlines as Hamas attacks Israel and full-scale war breaks out. We talk about how to orientate ourselves properly to such events from the perspective of Christian discipleship. We also give our view not only on the events themselves but on the disturbing reactions that we are witnessing in Western nations.
Whilst all of this is happening, the Church of England is promoting silent discos and issuing ambiguous statements about the so-called "Prayers of Love and Faith" for the blessing of same-sex couples in churches.
We also review last week's story about the Canadian Parliament's applause for a former member of the SS in light of some correspondence that suggests that there was more to this ostensible mistake than at first might have appeared.
That and much much more as ever!
