COP-Out 28

Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham, Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time: - The CofE's questionable Christmas campaign Follow the Star. - Activist Jayne Ozanne says that repentance is not essential to Christianity. - Diocesan Bishop breaks ranks and does not commend the new prayers of Love and Faith because they constitute a departure from the teaching of the CofE. - Rev'd Alice Goodman describes presiding over gay blessing as "ultimate joy". - UK Covid enquiry not interested in cost-benefit analysis. - Elite US universities cannot say whether calling for genocide of Jews is harassment. - Satanic idol set up in US state building in Idaho. - Irish teacher jailed for not using transgender pronouns and showing up at school after firing. - COP 28 on the verge of "embarrassing" failure after (surprise, surprise) oil-rich UAE declines to promise to stop producing fossil fuels by 2050.
