Ep #15 - 'Ever Wondered What People Actually Get From Church?' with Elizabeth Oldfield

Liz Oldfield is a remarkable woman who began life in TV and radio, before becoming director of the Theos Thinktank - which is dedicated to studying faith in the UK. This means she’s the first Christian we’ve had on the show. Sound the trumpets, kill the fatted calf, sing hosannas in the highest, and then some even higher than that.Liz appears regularly in the media on matters of faith and culture. You might have seen her on BBC One, Sky News, the World Service, or caught her writing in The Financial Times.What You'll Get.I thought we were going to talk about faith in Britain, the changing landscape of belief and her reports but we ended up getting a breakdown of what she gets from her church.I realised I’d never spoken to a religious person like this (and Liz hadn’t spoken about her faith this way either).You’ll hear what it’s like to experience God, the support her community gives her, how central the worship experience is to her life, the role of money in community and more.
