Adam has, for the delectation of the listeners, foolishly bravely subjected himself to yet another video recording of right-wing faith hobbyists making asses of themselves. Now it's Ben's turn. Join the lads as they head off to St Michael’s, Cornhill, in the City of London, for the launch of the Reform Christian Fellowship.
What’s on the menu?
 🍿 Sermon breakdown
 📖 Bad Theology
 ⚡ And, of course, the ever-present "cancel culture"
Along the way, they Mindgrapes 🍇 the Church of England’s Living in Love and Faith announcement and stumble across a familiar-yet-unfamiliar dragon-murdering Saint of the Week 🐉✝️.

The Church of England Is Now Investing in Arms. Cool. This week, Ben, Jonny and Adam talk pigs, peace prizes, and the slow spiritual death of the Church of England. Adam reflects on finding more joy at a winter fair than in most churches, Ben explains (again!) why liberals can’t be trusted, and Jonny questions what ‘Prince of Peace’ actually means when the C of E decides weapons are a sound investment strategy. Plus, our first Hussite Saint of the Week!

This week, Adam and Ben dive into yet another baffling episode of the Evangelical Alliance’s Cross Section podcast, where the hosts calmly explain that Zack Polanski’s Green Party and Tommy Robinson’s merry band of fascist grifters are basically two sides of the same extremist coin. Yes, really.

The guys listen and respond as the sensible moderates of Cross Section:
warn churches about the rise of “extremes”
frame mild social democracy as radical and dangerous
talk with straight faces about “the transing of kids”
insist Jesus wouldn’t support state welfare
suggest Tommy Robinson may be experiencing a Holy Spirit awakening
argue that abortion rights, LGBT dignity, and bodily autonomy are signs of moral decline
But remember folks, they're the sensible moderates.
So join Ben and Adam as they complain, like only mediocre white men can, about theology, politics, civility rhetoric and historical amnesia.

For our final Rosaries Rewind of the series, please enjoy this episode from 2022. We will be back with new episodes very soon!
Adam is joined not by Ben, who got called into work at the last minute, but by the Rev'd Robin Hanford.  Robin and Adam return the podcast to the topic of Remembrance and ask if a radical Remembrance is possible.
