We revisit Joe's theses and in particular discuss nonviolence – in many ways the forgotten element of Jesus' teaching. We discuss the early church's adoption of nonviolence, how we can so easily 'other' people and treat them as subhuman, and what we can do to be a non-violent presence in the world. Also, Nick takes credit for the Euros victory, and Joe has been to visit a rare tree.
