from Religion Media Centre Podcast · host Lois Lee, Hannah Scott-Joynt, Rosie Dawson, Leo Devine, Chine McDonald
Hannah Scott-Joynt is joined by regular journos Rosie Dawson and Leo Devine who reflect on the main religious news from the past week which is all about the Census results. What does Christianity’s apparent demise mean for the UK in terms of its description as a Christian country, the potential disestablishment of the Church of England, religious education in schools and what spiritual representation, if any, makes sense in the House of Lords?The team are joined by Chine McDonald, director of Theos Think Tank, and sociologist Dr Lois Lee who led the research programme “Understanding Unbelief” at the University of Kent. Leo galvanises some opinions from a church-based foodbank in Truro, and on a lighter note tells us about a tattooist in Jerusalem who loves nothing better than tattooing pilgrim grannies with the Jerusalem cross. “Go girl” as Hannah rightly puts it.LinksWebsite: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/Twitter: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmwContact [email protected](+44) 0203 970 0709
