Why are clergy regarded as office holders rather than staff? We speak to Reverend Chris Bedding, an Anglican priest and executive officer of the Faith Workers Alliance. 2025 is a jubilee year for the Catholic Church, traditionally a time for renewal and the forgiveness of debt and sin. But with Pope Francis still in recovery from double pneumonia, pilgrims are finding new ways to mark the jubilee.And why are Donald Trump, and the United States itself, poor role models for true conservatives. Andrew West speaks with Peter Hitchens, a popular conservative columnist for The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday.
Looking at Luke 22:24-34, Andrew West walks us through another one of the final moments of Jesus' life. Jesus, once again reminds the disciples, and us, where true greatness is found. It is not in being served but in serving others. But what does this look like in our own lives? What does it really look like to be a servant leader? How do we practice wholehearted humility? What does it look to humbly come before the greatness of the Lord?

The Vatican's secret role in the birth of IVF, how young is too young to visit Auschwitz? and did aid agencies get what they sought for in the federal budget?
In the past, the Vatican – and even a Pope – played a secret role in the development of artificial conception. And the vital ingredient was a basic human substance.
The federal budget is in, and foreign aid funding has fallen well short of international targets. Catholic aid agency Caritas has asked for a doubling of the emergency aid fund, but did they get anything like what they sought?
Each year, about two million people visit Auschwitz in Poland, and many of them are Jewish teenagers. But how young is too young to visit to the largest death camp of World War II?
