The Empire Employee of the Month

Summary

In this episode I explore the interaction between Jesus and the Roman Centurion with my good friend Samuel French. Samuel has a unique perspective when it comes to the Bible and doesn't allow boxed thinking to limit his views. He's also a lot of fun to chat with! Why does Jesus praise the faith of this Empire employee? Why is this story here? Jesus doesn't ever seem to let us decide who is in and who is out. He always makes space for the nuance of being human.

    Church of Englands revs Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to cover this week's biggest talking point. In Fatigued, Amused, Freaked Out: bizarre and hilarious comms at Canterbury Cathedral, Bridgen sues Hancock as major trash-talk is exchanged and paraphilia bingo in Sam Smith's perverse new music video. The Pelham Report takes in the latest on the Ukraine-Russian war, transgender update as "female" rapist is destined for women's prison, peace talks between Harry and Charles brokered by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and everyone - including teachers, nurses and the Bakerloo Line - is in on strike.The CofE gay marriage saga continues as important theologian Sandi Toksvig throws her hat in the ring and promises to get together with her "allies" to "see what can be done" about the situation. Some bishops make a slightly more orthodox statement on the palaver but is it enough? And major churches such as St Helen's Bishopsgate begin to pause their financial contributions to dioceses. Is this the beginning of the financial collapse of the Church of England?All that and much much more in this week's episode Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs!For your merchandise needs: https://irreverendmerch.bss.designSupport us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend)Links: Extraordinary communication from Canterbury CathedralBridgen sues HancockSam Smith paraphilia bingoToksvig the TheologianStatement on marriage from more orthodox bishops St Helen’s Bishopsgate pauses contribution to the common fund Notices:Find links to our episodes, social media accounts and ways to support us at https://www.irreverendpod.com!Thursday Circles: http://thursdaycircle.comJamie's Good Things Substack: https://jamiefranklin.substack.comIrreverend Sermon Audio: https://irreverendsermonaudio.buzzsprout.comSupport the Show.
