The Burning of Rory Stewart

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

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

• JD Vance in "ordo amoris" Twitter spat with Rory Stewart.
• The Bishop of Liverpool resigns over sexual abuse allegations whilst controversy around Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell persists.
• £2.6 billion of Church Commissioner money earmarked for clergy stipend increase, but will it make any difference to anything?

All that plus a special Question the Rev on a CofE TikTok comms video, more debate on the death penalty and why not just use modern language versions of Scripture all the time?
