J.A. Franklin

T.J. Pelham

Are you wondering how a Christian should respond to current events? What are we to think about a world that appears to be going absolutely mad? How are we to discern the signs of the times? In this podcast, featuring The Reverend Thomas Pelham, The Reverend Daniel French, The Reverend Doctor J.A. Franklin and the occasional guest, we attempt to give some answers. Email us at irreverendpod@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter @irreverendpod or on Telegram at https://t.me/irreverendpod.

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin is joined by the Rev'd Dr Duane Miller, missionary to the Islamic world and scholar in contextual theology with a particular focus on Islam. They talked about the challenges with demographic change and Islamic political theology, how Christianity offers a distinct vision for politics than Islam, how to share Christ with Muslims, what Muslim background believers to Christianity should do and Duane's involvement with International Muslim Outreach (https://www.imuslimoutreach.com).

Franklin also gives his thoughts on further pompous ostensibly Christian intervention in the Unite the Kingdom rally debate, digital ID cards, and an interesting article on the theology of climate change activists.

David Frost: "Why I Went Back to Church"

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down to talk about the biggest issues in Church and state. This time: 

 • The Charlie Kirk Funeral: Erika Kirk forgives but Trump offers only hatred for his enemies. Is the right in danger of engaging in the politics of hate too?
 • Church leaders condemn the Unite the Kingdom march as "far-right", but is this a fair characterisation?
 • Bishops applaud recognition of Palestinian statehood and call Israel an occupying power.
 • And Malthusians arguments made in the House of Lords for assisted suicide.

All that and a little more as ever. Please enjoy!

Charlie Kirk: Murder and Aftermath

If you enjoyed this episode, why not book now to attend the upcoming live interview recording in Winchester with Lord Frost! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/irreverend-live-jamie-franklin-interviews-lord-frost-tickets-1536201733739?aff=oddtdtcreator 

Church of England vicars Daniel French, Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin are joined by Lord Frost. David Frost had been at the heart of the UK Government and was deeply involved in seminal moments in British history including the Brexit negotiations and the Covid crisis. A deeply principled man, he quit the government over his opposition to further Covid restrictions and said subsequently that he believes that lockdowns are a serious policy error. In this special interview, he addressed in-depth the Covid crisis and the real reasons for the government's response to it, the use of behavioural psychology, the relationship of the government to the UK media, Brexit, the green agenda, free speech and the online harms bill. We also spoke about the Church of England and its failure to take the opportunity to offer hope in the midst of fear. Lord Frost ended this discussion with an exhortation to the Church to remember its true identity and to stop aping secular politicians.
Daniel and Jamie also reflected upon the discussion with Lord Frost and caught up on the notable news for the second week of February 2022: the ending of Covid restrictions in England, the Church of England bishops' plans to alter the nature of the Church by creating bishops for certain issues such as Brexit and Covid, and Justin Welby's comments on the moral imperative to embrace radical collectivism.
