Jamie and Tom begin with a profound rumination on comedy and contemporary culture before delving into the serious issue of a Labour MP's attempt to introduce abortion up to term for any reason in the UK. We discuss the latest Covid-19 news, including a helpful blog that may assist you or loved ones in climbing down from the fear. We finish up with a discussion of the Church of England's General Synod's plan to plant 1,000 churches in the next ten years and a very moving email of the week. Our Scripture this week is Psalm 139.
