Hello again! We're back and with a bang! &nbsp; Thanks to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, for sparking a big debate this week on Christianity and politics, after he co-wrote  a report with the left-leaning think tank the IPPR, and then spoke to  the Trades Union Congress. &nbsp; We got three great Christian political thinkers round the table to hammer out all the questions it raised. From think tank Theos Hannah Rich, who is also Vice-Chair of Christians on the Left; from the Evangelical Alliance, Danny Webster; and joining them is Gareth Wallace, Director of the Conservative Christian Fellowship. &nbsp; Enjoy!

Vote Welby?

Ben Ryan, Head of Research at the think-tank Theos (which focuses on religion and the public square) joins us to talk about  the&nbsp;Theos Annual Lecture, given last week by Michael Gove, and about  'Christianism' and how populist parties across Europe may be co-opting the language and symbols of Christianity. Plus, we chat about Brexit cos, you know, it's hard not to.

Hi ho. This week we've got Jonathan Williams, from CARE, on to talk about why the Government's new Relationships and Sex Education syllabus is causing concern, and also point out what good things it includes. Then Laurence Wilkinson, from ADF International, joins us to discuss the viral video of a  street preacher being arrested outside a London tube station. Enjoy!

We can only have a few of our episodes here - so for the rest, go to www.playpodca.st/holy-political or www.holpolpod.com
A semi-serious, semi-informed podcast about the good, bad and bizarre ways Christians mix their faith and politics, and political issues affecting Christians. Mainly accurate, somewhat entertaining, hopefully helpful.
Thanks!
