Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin talks about the big issues of church and state. This time: the Church of England seems to think that we need to drop the word "church", to stay "relevant". Is this strategy theological coherent and will it work to reach the younger generations?
The Rev'd Dr Bernard Randall's case continues to cast an awful light on the senior leadership of the CofE as top KC says that the Archbishop of Canterbury exceeding his power by blocking Randall from appealing against his bishop, Debby Lane.
And controversial cleric Brett Murphy is kicked out of the Free Church of England. Is there anywhere that faithful priests can go where they will not be persecuted?
That plus your emails and a question on the relationship of Freemasonry and Christianity.

CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with GB News and Weekly Sceptic host and comedian Nick Dixon about the biggest issues of the times. In a broad-ranging discussion, the following was discussed:

• Two-tier policing in the UK.
• The reasons for the elite contempt for the working-class.
• Language policing and the attack on social media.
• Why Elon Musk does not fall in to line with the accepted elite opinion and highlights from the Musk/Trump conversation.
• Nick's predictions for the coming year and where hope is to be found - if at all.

Towards the end of the show we spoke about more personal matters including how Nick has improved his mental health, the benefits of reading fiction, and some on Rev Jamie's personal disciplines that help him get through a certain amount of reading.
