Ben and Adam reflect on a year of faith leaders' moral failure in response to Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people as well as a much better response from liberation theologian, Sarojini Nadar. They also talk about Saint of the Week, St. John Chrysostom. That's right, an actual official saint for Saint of the Week! And what's up with sports journalists covering for athletes who have committed horrific crimes? Ben helps us think through some ongoing cases in Mingrapes.

How is democracy used ideologically? Is it even the best way to structure society? Are there alternatives? Jonny and Adam try to get to the bottom of it and along the way run into dogs painted to look like pandas, the resurrection of a long-lost biblical tree, and the first (and possibly only!) TORY Saint of the Week!

Is charity really the solution to society’s biggest problems, or is it just a sticking plaster for an evil capitalist system?! Join Ben and Adam as they critique Jon Kuhrt's lecture Grace, Truth and the Common Good, discuss this week’s Saint of the Week, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and explore why Lee Carsley refuses to sing the national anthem.

Ben and Adam take a look at the influence of right-wing hedge fund manager and media mogul, Paul Marshall's quiet reshaping the Church of England through financial influence. They also spotlight Gresham Kirkby, the Anglican priest who proclaimed his undying support for anarchism to the end, making him our Saint of the Week.
The Surviving Church blog has some really interesting pieces on HTB, power and safeguarding. This series, by Hatty Calbus, was particularly helpful.

As an established church, the Church of England occupies a unique position in the constitutional life of England and the UK as a whole. But in the face of growing authoritarianism, how can it act prophetically? Is it time to give up its privileged status? Join Jonny and Adam as they discuss Adam's article Where is the Church's Prophetic Voice? and explore the tensions between the Church's influence and its ability to challenge the status quo. Can the Church of England find a way to embody its calling, or is it time for a radical shift?

From the CofE's standard 'let's not be mean' offering in #PrayYourPart, to something a little more interesting from the Diocese of Salisbury, join Adam Spiers and Jonny Bell as they take a look at some Christian responses to the upcoming general election. Is democracy possible under capitalism? How does the Church intersect with power? What does it mean to be a Christian committed to revolutionary change in a world dominated by establishment interests? All of these questions will remain unanswered in this episode so maybe you want to give this one a miss? I dunno - I'm not your mum.

Ben, Adam, and Jonny take a look at the Cass Review into gender health care for young people, discussing some of the biases, shady characters and rhetoric associated with it. Naturally Jonny thinks Hegel can help and Adam wants to talk about ageism again.
The hosts also discuss Saint of the Week, Jacques Gaillot, best known for pissing off the pope so much that he made him bishop of a portion of the Sahara dessert.Christians for Palestine:

When the echoes of history reverberate through today's headlines, understanding the past becomes essential to navigating the present. Ben Molyneux-Hetherington and Adam Spiers are joined by Dr. Peter Shambrook, author of 'Policy of Deceit: Britain and Palestine, 1914-1939', who helps us understand British manoeuvrings in Palestine prior to the establishment of the State of Israel.
Peter's book, 'Policy of Deceit' is available here.
The Balfour Project can be found here.
We also discuss Saint of the Week Henry Gunter, and his profound impact on the antiracism movement in Britain and British trade unionism.

Ben and Adam talk about the importance of Christians organising for a free Palestine and what role they can play in the movement. Also, we know we're extremely late with this one. Adam blames his dog... and work. But mostly the dog. She's a needy little bitch.

Jonny, Ben and Adam try to work out why 'bothsidesism' seems so prevalent in both the Church and wider society, particularly in coverage of Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. So a nice light topic then!

Jonny tries to justify his love of postmodernism whilst Lu fans the flames of Adam's oscillating between incredulity and rage. Consensus is found however, in the assertion that Jordan Peterson is a hack.

Adam and Ben discuss why they still bother with politics, how their Christianity relates to this and their differing approached to doubt. They also discuss Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
