Roald Dahl and the Joyless Whitewashing - Irreverend Episode 114

Church of England vicars Jamie Franklin and Daniel sit down to review the big talking points of the week in a bumper episode. This time:
- Grant Shapps and Bill Gates mysterious net-zero rendezvous at Imperial College London
- Church of England trolled by Vladimir Putin
- Kate Forbes too Christian for SNP leadership. Woke/Muslim Humza Yousaf preferable
- Roald Dahl whitewashed by joyless "sensitivity readers"
- What is going on at the Asbury Revival?
- Tories line up less woke Archbishop of Canterbury to replace Welby
- And the latest in the catastrophic fallout from the CofE same-sex blessing General Synod as Church of England is declared schismatic by the Global Southern Fellowship of Anglican Church.
This, a Question the Rev on a Christian attitude to immigration and much much more as always on this week's edition of Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs!
