Revisiting Israel

Church of England revs Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down to talk about the most pressing issues of church and state. This time: - British aid workers killed in Gaza. Is the moral case against Israel's war efforts becoming clearer? - Attempts to decriminalise abortion resurface. We respond to a debate on the subject featuring pro-choice activist Ann Furedi. - The European Court of Human Rights rules that Switzerland must do more to protect its citizens from climate change. - And a listener asks us to discuss our views on the death penalty. That and much, much more as ever. Enjoy! Please Support! Support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend).
