New Archbishop - What We Did and Didn't Hear!

In the days leading up to the confirmation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, a series of interviews set out her priorities and vision for the Church of England.Much was said about unity, care, listening, safeguarding, and healing. And much of it was said sincerely.But moments like this also teach us by what is left unsaid.In this podcast, I reflect carefully on the language used in those interviews before the confirmation, the themes that were emphasised, and the quiet absence many faithful Christians felt. This is not about motives, personalities, or outrage. It is about what the Church names at moments of direction-setting, and why the gospel of Jesus Christ cannot simply be assumed.I explore what biblical hope actually is, why proclamation matters alongside pastoral care, and how faithful local churches continue their work even when the national Church feels distant. In a time of confusion, the call is not to shout louder, but to remain steady, clear, and faithful. This is a public episode.
