  • Abortion and Suicide: A Very Dark Week for Britain
    2025/06/27

    Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories of the week. On the agenda this time can only be the passing of laws in Britain decriminalising abortion up to birth and legalising state-sponsored suicide. We also look at the Bishop of Manchester's denial that so-called "grooming gangs" had anything to do with race, ethnicity or religion despite this claim being flatly contradicted by the Casey report.

    In a world that is looking increasingly dark, how should Christians and the Church respond?
