Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs

In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs , Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin is joined by Rev. Thomas Pelham for a wide-ranging discussion on two major stories. First: Sadiq Khan celebrates a partnership between Fabric nightclub and St Paul’s Cathedral. Is this just another concert in a historic building, or a sign that the Church of England has lost the distinction between the sacred and the secular? Jamie and Tom examine Bishop Robert Barron’s strong critique, Gavin Ashenden’s polemics, and the wider question of what church buildings are actually for. Second: Cambridge academic and Reform UK policy chief James Orr is forced to step down after being caught in a journalistic sting discussing foreign funding. Was it illegal? Immoral? Or just politically disastrous? The pair dig into the optics, the law, Nigel Farage’s ruthless response, and what it means for Christian influence in politics. Also in this episode: the assisted dying bill, the AfD surge in Germany, Iceland rejecting the EU, and a listener question about blessing children’s backpacks.

In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs , Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin confronts one of the most disturbing stories gripping social media: the Lindsay Clancy trial. A Massachusetts mother methodically strangled her three young children before attempting suicide. As the jury remains deadlocked, supporters gather outside the courthouse wearing “Stand with Lindsay” T-shirts, while commentators rush to excuse her by blaming sleep deprivation, “the patriarchy,” mental illness, or Big Pharma. Jamie argues this is a clear bellwether of a post-Christian anthropology that replaces objective morality and personal responsibility with identity hierarchies — and shows how the logic of abortion is now being applied to born children. Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro & welcome 1:59 – Lord’s Prayer and Bible reading: Matthew 18:15–20 3:06 – Personal responsibility & the breakdown of the moral universe 9:40 – The Lindsay Clancy story begins 12:47 – Post-Christian anthropology & the decline of the West 17:00 – Pagan Rome, infanticide & the Christian revolution 22:04 – Lindsay Clancy as feminist icon & the TikTok supporters 26:56 – Caitlin Bennett interview with Clancy supporters 32:45 – Legal ramifications if she is found not guilty 35:41 – Anne Hathaway on abortion as “mercy” 40:44 – Church of England / Church Times silence 44:41 – Why the leftist ideology is uniquely toxic 50:14 – Listener question: Big Church Festival tragedy & the problem of evil 1:01:01 – St Stephen of Hungary & the call for Christian restoration 1:04:50 – Closing prayer This is one of the darkest and most important conversations Jamie has hosted. Not for the faint-hearted — but essential if you care about the direction of our civilisation.

Rev Jamie is back with a solo episode that starts with absurdity and ends with righteous anger. 🔥 The Home Office’s jaw-dropping pamphlet telling asylum seekers that “in the UK both people must say yes to sex” – complete with unfinished sentences and cartoon illustrations. Madeleine Grant calls it Victorian moralising; Jamie calls it something far darker. 👑 Prince Harry’s latest “hostage video” for the Diana Award: systemic racism, unconscious bias, and the obligatory apology for the sins of previous generations. Production values that would embarrass a parish podcast. 🎓 Academia continues its descent: a very tall man in a dress receives an honorary degree for DEI activism at the University of Bradford… while Cambridge’s Education Faculty hires someone who once called for engineering degrees to produce “advanced weaponry for jihad.” And the main event: the continuing fallout from Jason Arday’s death. Nathan Cofnas speaks. The Bishop of Croydon and former Archbishop Rowan Williams turn the tragedy into a morality play about “bullying” and “basic human dignity” – while ignoring the plagiarism, the fabrications, and the DEI machine that put an unqualified man on a pedestal from which he had so far to fall. Jamie names names, refuses the victimhood narrative, and asks the forbidden question: who is actually responsible? Plus: the quiet death of the parish system under “oversight ministry” and why the Church of England’s technocrats don’t understand what a priest actually is.

Rev Jamie returns with a powerful solo episode on the tragic death of Cambridge professor Jason Arday and what it reveals about our post-truth culture. In this episode: 🔥 Jason Arday’s death and the reaction The James O’Brien interview, the rejection of meritocracy, the Trafalgar Square vigil, Diane Abbott’s claims of a “vicious campaign”, and the Committee for Academic Freedom’s response. 📖 Victimhood as the new sainthood How modern culture has taken the Christian idea of martyrdom and twisted it into identity politics. ⛪ Church of England Project Spire Alex Scott discovers her ancestor was a slave owner — and why race-based reparations make no sense. ⛪ Truro’s 21-church benefice Mass opposition ignored, and Bishop David Williams’ comments on “priest-centred” ministry.

Jamie and Tom are back with another explosive episode. 🔥 Jason Arday / Cambridge scandal The “inspirational” professor whose remarkable life story is collapsing, extensive plagiarism, incoherent teaching, a $1.15 million book deal still going ahead, and the toxic DEI culture that allowed it all to happen. ⛪ Madeline Grant on the Church of England Why the CofE is still doubling down on Project Spire and 2020-era racial politics long after the rest of society has moved on. ⚖️ Massachusetts abortion law A major change expanding access to later-term abortions — and what it reveals about the direction of Western culture.

In this episode of Irreverend, Rev. Jamie Franklin examines two major stories making waves in the Church and wider culture. 1. The Archbishop of Canterbury in Ghana Filmed visits to former slave sites, public displays of piety, and a renewed commitment to the Church of England’s £100 million slavery reparations fund. Historical claims, collective guilt theology, African involvement in the slave trade, British abolition, parish backlash, and the legal challenge now underway. 2. Oxford Union debate – “The West is right to be suspicious of Islam” Protesters outside, Tommy Robinson on the panel, a revealing joke about him being “cooked,” the attempt to separate Islam from Islamism, the age of Aisha, and why the Christian-history comparison doesn’t work the way some claim.

The Church of England is sitting on an £11.6 billion endowment — yet parish churches are being closed, merged, and left without clergy or cash. In this hard-hitting episode, Jamie Franklin interviews the Rev. Marcus Walker , rector of St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London and one of the key voices behind the Save the Parish movement. They dig into: 🔥 The extraordinary growth at St Bartholomew’s (from ~50 to 250+) and why young adults are flocking to traditional high-church worship 💰 How historic parish money has been redirected while poorer churches struggle ⛪ The controversial push for 10,000 new lay-led church plants 📖 The Quiet Revival, the King James Bible, beauty, and why “relevance” often means the opposite of what people actually want ⚔️ What ordinary Anglicans can do to fight back This is one of the most important conversations about the future of the Church of England right now.

The Church of England has released yet another howler — their official “Prayer for the World Cup.” In this episode Revd Dr Jamie Franklin dissects the theologically shallow, barely comprehensible prayer, its widespread mockery, the questions raised at General Synod, and the woeful response from the Bishop of Lichfield and the Liturgical Commission. Why is the institution doubling down instead of apologising? And who on earth signed this off?

Rev. Jamie Franklin is back with a no-holds-barred roundup of the biggest stories in church and state. He tears into the Church of England’s official “Prayer for the World Cup 2026” — calling it poorly written, theologically shallow, embarrassingly unserious, and a perfect symbol of the institution’s current woes. He also reacts to Keir Starmer’s plan to ban social media for under-16s, dissecting the authoritarian tone, questioning the real motives behind it, and exploring the deeper issues around parenting and technology and the spiritual battle of the internet, attention and addiction. Plus: Psalm 148, live event details, and a powerful Hymn of the Week — Praise the Lord, Ye Heavens, Adore Him set to Haydn’s majestic Austria .

In this hard-hitting episode of Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs , Revs Jamie Franklin and Tom Pelham tackle the escalating crisis on Britain's streets. A brutal knife attack in North Belfast by a Sudanese migrant — with apparent attempts to behead his victim — has triggered major riots, burning houses, and intense public anger. Jamie and Tom break down the incident, the shocking police response, and draw uncomfortable parallels with the murder of Henry Novak and growing accusations of two-tier policing. Tom delivers a timely Bible reflection on Matthew 9:37-38 — "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few" — challenging the Church to rise to the moment with hope and action. The conversation covers: The failures of mass immigration and integration Legacy media spin and gaslighting Kier Starmer’s plans to restrict social media for under-18s The Church of England’s response to the unrest Why civic nationalism may be the only alternative to rising tensions Plus: Listener emails, the Hymn of the Week ("The Church’s One Foundation") and much more.

The BBC’s new docudrama Dear England is meant to celebrate Gareth Southgate’s England team but it’s actually infuriating propaganda that puts race, kneeling, and virtue signalling front and centre while ignoring real football. In this no-holds-barred review, Reverend Dr Jamie Franklin explains why he loved the original stage play but couldn’t stand the TV version. From the cringeworthy dressing room lectures to Harry Kane’s moralising and the obsession with George Floyd, taking the knee and Black Lives Matter, this drama turns England’s football story into a condescending sermon on racism that England fans never asked for. Franklin argues that England got so close to winning major trophies not because of systemic racism but because the team spent more energy on political gestures than on the fine margins that win tournaments. If you’re sick of football being politicised, this is the rant you’ve been waiting for.

Reverend Dr Jamie Franklin responds to the shocking murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton. He examines the brutal knife attack, the police response that left Henry handcuffed and dying whilst they attended to his attacker, and what this case reveals about two-tier policing, institutional failures, and growing societal division in Britain. Jamie reflects on Nigel Farage’s powerful statement, Henry’s father’s moving words outside court, the glaring contrast with the George Floyd response, and the Church of England’s silence. He addresses the protests that followed, the deeper issues of multiculturalism, and calls the Church and nation to repentance and a renewed commitment to justice and truth. A raw, heartfelt, and unflinching look at a tragic case that has become symbolic of much that is wrong in contemporary Britain.

Why do so many churches feel spiritually thin, aesthetically bland, and disconnected from the deep longings of modern people? In this lecture, the Rev’d Dr Jamie Franklin argues that the crisis of the modern West is not merely theological or moral but rather aesthetic in nature. Drawing on Alexander Schmemann, David Bentley Hart, Iain McGilchrist, St Anselm, and the Christian tradition, he explores a striking idea: that Original Sin was, at its heart, a refusal to receive creation as a gift and offer it back to God in thanksgiving. This talk traces how Christianity once understood the world as sacramentally charged with divine meaning and how that vision was gradually eclipsed by modern secular assumptions. Topics include: • Original Sin as a failure of “original blessing” • The sacramental vision of creation • The Reformation, iconoclasm, and the loss of symbolic thinking • Beauty, liturgy, and the recovery of the sacred • Why the Eucharist stands at the centre of a truly Christian vision of the world • What parish churches can teach a disenchanted culture If you’ve ever wondered why beauty matters, why ancient liturgy continues to attract people in a secular age, or how Christianity can recover a sense of the sacred, then this conversation is for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN US FOR IRREVEREND LIVE! - Holy Trinity Church Winchester, Tuesday 23rd June, 7pm: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/irreverend-live-with-tom-daniel-and-jamie-tickets-1990101934458?aff=oddtdtcreator Email the Show with comments and questions! irreverendpod@gmail.com You make this podcast possible.
