Email us at irreverendpod@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter @irreverendpod or on Telegram at https://t.me/irreverendpod.

Madness at Glastonbury and Withholding Communion

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories of the week. On the agenda this time can only be the passing of laws in Britain decriminalising abortion up to birth and legalising state-sponsored suicide. We also look at the Bishop of Manchester's denial that so-called "grooming gangs" had anything to do with race, ethnicity or religion despite this claim being flatly contradicted by the Casey report. 

In a world that is looking increasingly dark, how should Christians and the Church respond?

Riots and Immigration: Is Civil War Coming to the West?

In this special episode, the Rev'd Dr Jamie Franklin presents a talk on the subject of disenchantment. How did the world lose its sense of transcendent wonder during the Reformation and Early Modern period? What is it like to live in a "flat" secular age? And what can Christianity and the Church offer to the disenchanted world?
This is a message of hope and a call to action that will encourage church leaders and Christians and that will be of interest to anybody who is seeking to rediscover wonder.
