The Vicar Will Kill You Now

Eventbrite page for our first official live event (a couple of balcony seats may still be available): https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/irreverend-face-to-face-tickets-297146823147 In this episode Church of England vicars Thomas Pelham, Daniel French and Jamie Franklin get together to offer a spiritual perspective on current events, this week taking our Scriptural reflection from John 3:16-21: God's offer of the light of truth to the world. In current events: Elon Musk buys Twitter to promote free speech, why are people unhappy? The government want to send migrants to Rwanda, is it such a bad place after all? "Yes" says the Archbishop of Canterbury! Rev Rich Coles retires early because the Church isn't friendly to gay people. Canada wants to euthanise the mentally ill and a Church in the true north has begun its own priest-assisted in-house death service: come through dear, the vicar will kill you now!
