A Turn to the Dark Lord

Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

Church of England reverends Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin get together to discuss the big stories of the week.
- An emergence of Satanism amongst the young in the UK.
- CofE bishops meet to discuss a compromise on same sex marriage that will satisfy nobody.
- Rishi Sunak plans to ban "conversion therapy" even more.
- Comments on the Andrew Bridgen story after he loses the Tory whip for an allegedly anti-semitic tweet.
Our Scripture this week is taken from Psalm 90: "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations".
