Two Weeks to Flatten the Truckers - Spiritual Experience, Trudeau Goes Nuclear, Archbishop Denies Church Closure/Derides Bake Off, CofE Twitter Implodes on Conversion Therapy

Church of England Revs Daniel French, Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin get together to offer a spiritual perspective on current events. This week: a question on the experience of God, in the news Trudeau invokes emergency power to confiscate money from rogue truckers, the Archbishop of Canterbury says that he is not solely responsible for the closure of churches in March 2020 and that he does not like the competitive nature of the Great British Bake Off. We also review the ongoing controversy around a letter decrying the British government's banning of conversion therapy with 2,500 signatories drawn from sectors of the church in this country. It's fair to say that this has provoked quite a reaction on Twitter, not sure about the rest of the world.Links:Jane Stannus in The Spectator, Trudeau's Totalitarian TurnCraig Simpson in The Times, Archbishop of Canterbury denies sole blame for Covid Church ClosuresRoland White in The Times, Bake Off has more sustenance than a Welby sermonMinisters' Consultation Response on Conversion TherapyBishop of Dorchester Condemnation of Conversion Therapy LetterBBC, Oxford Pride Condemns Conversion Therapy Open LetterNotices:Thanks to our Patreons!
