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.

In our (sort of) festive episode, Church of England Revs Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to give a spiritual perspective on the big stories of our time. This week: Tom’s heroic antics in snowy Etchingham, the best World Cup ever in Qatar, God Rest Ye Merry edited for political purposes, reflections upon Andrew Bridgen’s intervention in the V-safety debate, woman arrested for silently praying outside abortion clinic - currently unclear whether or not the Archbishop of Canterbury supports the arrest - a Question the Rev on understanding the whole of church history and an email offering a conservative reappraisal of the desirableness of cars in society. That and much much more as ever on this week's Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs!
