Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham, Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit dow to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time: Major new church survey reveals a high level of openness to robot ministers. Starmer's first major speech reveals that he is going to try to tax us and bore us to death at the same time. One-word Ofsted Reports scrapped and replaced by impenetrable, jargon-filled verbiage. The CofE Commissioners decide not to turn defunct church building into mosque. And across the pond: Trump disappointingly liberal on abortion whilst Kamala Harris gives first interview with predictable results. All of that, plus much more, with your questions answers, including a query as to whether or not our atheist Prime Minister should be in charge of choosing bishops in the CofE.

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin talks about the big issues of church and state. This time: the Church of England seems to think that we need to drop the word "church", to stay "relevant". Is this strategy theological coherent and will it work to reach the younger generations? The Rev'd Dr Bernard Randall's case continues to cast an awful light on the senior leadership of the CofE as top KC says that the Archbishop of Canterbury exceeding his power by blocking Randall from appealing against his bishop, Debby Lane. And controversial cleric Brett Murphy is kicked out of the Free Church of England. Is there anywhere that faithful priests can go where they will not be persecuted?

CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with GB News and Weekly Sceptic host and comedian Nick Dixon about the biggest issues of the times. In a broad-ranging discussion, the following was discussed: Two-tier policing in the UK. The reasons for the elite contempt for the working-class. Language policing and the attack on social media. Why Elon Musk does not fall in to line with the accepted elite opinion and highlights from the Musk/Trump conversation. Nick's predictions for the coming year and where hope is to be found - if at all. Towards the end of the show we spoke about more personal matters including how Nick has improved his mental health, the benefits of reading fiction, and some on Rev Jamie's personal disciplines that help him get through a certain amount of reading.

This time a special episode dealing almost exclusively with the civil unrest that is spreading across the UK, including the following things. The lockstep narrative of the mainstream media kicks in again. Why have things changed so much in the UK since the nineties? Why the elite are gaslighting us and lying to us about everything. The war between the elites and Elon Musk: are we heading into a new civil war or is this simply a deplorable thing to say? Our comments on reactions from the higher-ups in the Church of England.

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down with Premier League and all-round legend Matthew Le Tissier. They spoke about Matt's life, his career as a top football professional with Southampton and England and his subsequent life as a pundit, after-dinner speaker, and very good golf player. They also covered Matt's decision to air his views on the Covid situation, his sacking by Sky Sports, and his inside take on what Premier League players really think about the politicisation of football. They touched on Matt's recently found Christian faith and where this fits into what he sees as a societal and cosmic battle between good and evil. In Rev'd Jamie's monologue, he provides a Christian interpretation of recents events in the US and the CofE's latest 'guidance' on teaching transgender ideology in their schools, and he answers a couple of emails on how Christians should engage under the new Labour regime and the thorny question of hell.

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state, this time paying special attention to Labour's win in the General Election. We discuss: The post-election mood: how are things different from the last Labour turnaround in '97 and is the most underwhelming general election ever? How should Christians respond to a change in their overlords? Kier Starmer's "historic" speech following the Labour victory, apparently written by the Archbishop of Canterbury's speechwriter. Was it any good? In other news, the Church of England General Synod votes to approve same-sex blessings (sort of). Synod also passes a motion to affirm the dignity of unborn babies with disabilities.

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French, Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down on the eve of the UK General Election to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. We round up the important last-minute stories and make our predictions for the big day. Also on the agenda, the Church of England's General Synod is back and so is the question of same-sex blessings. The widely supported Alliance group is threatening to create a parallel province. Several bishops have written an open letter pleading for a change of course. And the liberalising Bishop of Oxford has also hit back. We discuss all the central issues and controversies. Finally, an interview with Charles Wide K.C. on a recent letter sent to the Church Times protesting the use of £100 million (rising to £1 billion somehow) of the Church Commissioner's money to repay the Church's ostensible involvement in, and profiting from, the Transatlantic slave trade.
