Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

  • Decolonising the Primates
    May 10 2024

    Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin are back to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:

    • Is the decline of Christianity linked to the decline of Englishness?
    • Anglican primates attempt to decolonise the Anglican Communion apparently by giving the Archbishop of Canterbury more power than before. We ask what is the issue behind the issue.
    • And we check in with Russell Brand to find out how his first week being a Christian has gone.

    That and much much more as always.
