  • Sexuality, persecution, abortion and mission: Has Christian journalism got it right?

    Sexuality, persecution, abortion and mission: Has Christian journalism got it right?
    May 27 2024
    Sadly, today’s episode will be the last episode of the Premier Christian Newscast. To wrap the show up, we looked back over the last two years at what stories and topics have come up the most. What has been making waves in church news? What issues are we unable to move on from? And what might this tell us about what is going to be hitting the headlines in the years to come? Has the Christian media got too distracted by culture war political nonsense, and missed the more important stories right under our nose? How do we faithfully go about trying to decide what to cover and what to ignore? We’ll be joined by Sam Hailes and Emma Fowle from Premier Christianity magazine to look back at what the Newscast feed tells us about the state of the church, and to consider what stories we expect to be keeping us busy throughout the rest of 2024 and into the future.

  • The General Election

    The General Election
    May 20 2024
    All of the UK will be going to the polls soon in a general election, which is expected at some point in the autumn. After a drubbing in the recent local elections, Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are widely expected to be dumped out of office in Westminster too. And just as more and more Britons are abandoning the Tories, so too are Christians. This week we’re wondering how believers are thinking about the parties, the politicians and the policies ahead of going to the polls. Many in Westminster expect this to be a tumultuous and history-making election, but how engaged is the church this time round? Where do Christians stand on the big flashpoints and debates? Is there really any meaningful Christian vote for parties to lobby for? And what do the Christian activists in the main parties make of it all? Guests: • Andy Flanagan, Christians in Politics • Hannah Rich, Christians on the Left • David Burrowes, former Tory MP and now the Conservative Christian Fellowship • Elizabeth Jewkes, Liberal Democrat Christian Forum

  • Asylum seekers, baptism and the church

    Asylum seekers, baptism and the church
    May 6 2024
    The horrendous attack on a mother and her children by Abdul Ezedi, an Afghan asylum seeker, in Clapham earlier this year sparked a ferocious row. A string of politicians and right-wing media outlets accused churches of giving asylum seekers like Ezedi bogus baptisms after they had fraudulently converted to Christianity to boost their arguments to not be returned to their home countries. But is any of this actually happening? What is actually happening on parishes and congregations up and down Britain which do minister to asylum seekers? And why have Christians become the lightning rod for politicians’ anger over the asylum system in the first place? Guests: • Guli Francis-Dehqani, the Bishop of Chelmsford • Krish Kandiah, director of the Sanctuary Foundation • Steve Tinning, public issues enabler for the Baptist Union • Emily Shepherd, CEO of Welcome Churches • Mike Coates, vicar of All Saints, Liverpool
