After days of intense diplomatic drama over Ukraine, and as President Zelenskyy visits the UK, we debate the morality of making peace. The Ukrainian President's meeting with US President Donald Trump ended in a tense confrontation. It had all begun politely but descended into a verbal bust-up. Mr Trump said it made for good television, but with thousands of lives at stake—not to mention global peace—we wanted to explore what price should be paid for peace and what the rights and wrongs of continuing to fight are. Emily Buchanan speaks to Jan Halper Hayes, Republican commentator and former member of the Trump White House transition team, and Professor Janina Dill, Co-director of the Oxford University Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict.There's been further fallout from the Church of England's review into the handling of allegations of abuse by the late John Smyth. This was the review that led to the resignation of Archbishop Justin Welby. Now, ten clergy named in that review could face disciplinary proceedings, including former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey and the Rev Andrew Cornes, who was due to be on the committee selecting the next Archbishop of Canterbury. However, the Church's National Safeguarding Team says other clergy criticised in the report will not face disciplinary action due to "insufficient evidence to meet the threshold for disciplinary proceedings." We heard from one alleged victim of abuse, Augustine Tanner-Ihm, who is a vicar himself, and asked him whether he thought the latest Disciplinary Action Measure was a step in the right direction.Hollywood is gathering its stars for the 97th Academy Awards, otherwise known as the Oscars. Many of the films up for awards have a religious element—Wicked, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist, and more. On The Sunday Programme over the last few months, we've been hearing from some of the key people involved in their creation. We revisit some of the highlights.Presenter: Emily Buchanan Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim & Katy Davis Studio Managers: Simon Highfield & Carwyn Griffiths Editor: Rajeev Gupta

The resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, made headline news across the UK and the wider world. This itself points to the ongoing public significance of the CofE and the knock-on effects for the wider church. Why did Welby choose to resign after pressure of public disrepute from external liberal media and government, rather than after the pressure from faithful Christians over his handling of LGBT+ issues or his support for other-religious festivals? What does this tell us about the priorities not only of his own leadership, but of the institution more broadly? How did Welby's evangelical convictions erode during his time in office? Was the authority of Scripture subtly replaced by a vague sense of "theological reflection"? What lessons can be learned for leaders and institutions going forward regarding "reputation"? Andy and Aaron cover all this and more in the latest episode of Pod of the Gaps. ** SUPPORT POD OF THE GAPS HERE: https://soundcloud.com/wkop-podcast ** RESOURCES: - Welby Resignation statement https://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/news-and-statements/statement-archbishop-canterbury-0 - Lambeth Statement on LLF https://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/news-and-statements/lambeth-palace-statement-living-love-and-faith - 'How church attendance crumbled under Justin Welby' https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/12/church-attendance-falls-justin-welby-archbishop-canterbury/ - 'Diwali, the Gospel, and AoC Welby' https://virtueonline.org/diwali-gospel-and-archbishop-justin-welby

Four senior Church of England bishops have accused Israel of acting above the law in the West Bank. In a letter sent to The Observer newspaper, they have called on the UN to move beyond strongly worded resolutions and they say there is little distinction between state and settlor violence.

Emily Buchanan speaks to one of the signatories, Bishop of Southwark, Christopher Chessun.Our correspondent Hugo BachegaIn gives us the latest about the situation in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has confirmed that two senior commanders were killed in a strike on the capital Beirut on Friday. Since then Israel has claimed to have hit hundreds of Hezbollah rocket launchers while Hezbollah in turn has fired rockets into Israel's northern region. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said the earlier pager and walkie-talkie explosions which killed 39 people and wounded 3000 violated international humanitarian law.A new documentary investigates abuse and death at an Indian residential school in Canada run by the Catholic Church between 1891 to 1981.

El PIT CNT lanzó ayer una campaña para que en el próximo período de gobierno se apruebe la reducción de la jornada laboral sin pérdida salarial. En el acto de lanzamiento estuvieron presente el presidente del PIT-CNT, Marcelo Abdala; el ministro de Trabajo y Seguridad Social, Mario Arizti; el director general de INEFOP, Pablo Darch; el presidente de COFE, Joselo López; el director del Instituto Cuesta Duarte, Milton Castellano; y el equipo de Saberes en Acción/ICUDU, conformado por Alejandra Picco, Pablo Blanchard y Federico Araya, quienes presentaron un informe técnico sobre los beneficios que tendría esta medida. El presidente de la central, Marcelo Abdala dijo que la iniciativa procura que se sancione una ley que establezca un máximo de 40 horas semanales de trabajo con pago equivalente a 48 horas. Posteriormente se abriría un proceso de negociación por rama y sector de actividad para definir el alcance y la aplicación de esta medida. Abdala explicó que el PIT CNT buscará instalar el tema en la campaña con reuniones con legisladores y candidatos presidenciales de todos los partidos políticos. Según destacó, la propuesta “tiene la solvencia técnica de un estudio” del Instituto Cuesta Duarte y de técnicos y académicos de la Universidad de la República que demuestran, a partir de la experiencia internacional, que “es perfectamente posible”, “es buena para la gente” y, además, “tiene un impacto positivo en la productividad”. "Mejora la salud laboral del trabajador, su salud, su estima, su bienestar en el trabajo, la posibilidad de hacer deporte, que deje de fumar, que disminuya la brecha de género para compartir mejor el trabajo remunerado que recae en la mujer. Y queda demostrado que no afecta negativamente al empleo y puede mejorar la productividad". Por su parte, el ministro de Trabajo, Mario Arizti, reconoció que es este es “un tema de debate mundial”. “No hay que negarse a discutir los tiempos de trabajo en su conjunto”, expresó. Y luego opinó que es necesario que exista una legislación, pero al mismo tiempo, se debe “dejar espacio a la negociación colectiva”, que según explicó, es lo que está ocurriendo actualmente, cuando “muchos sectores, a través de la negociación colectiva distribuyen su tiempo de trabajo y se ajustan a la realidad de ese sector o de esa empresa”. Arizti dijo que en el mundo hay distintos modelos de redistribución de horarios. Por ejemplo, se podría trabajar más horas durante dos días de la semana y tener el viernes libre, logrando así un descanso más extenso. “Tenés una especie de banco de horas, y que de ahí se puedan ir utilizando; eso sucede en otras partes”, dijo el ministro.

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down with Premier League and all-round legend Matthew Le Tissier. They spoke about Matt's life, his career as a top football professional with Southampton and England and his subsequent life as a pundit, after-dinner speaker, and very good golf player. They also covered Matt's decision to air his views on the Covid situation, his sacking by Sky Sports, and his inside take on what Premier League players really think about the politicisation of football. They touched on Matt's recently found Christian faith and where this fits into what he sees as a societal and cosmic battle between good and evil.In Rev'd Jamie's monologue, he provides a Christian interpretation of recents events in the US and the CofE's latest 'guidance' on teaching transgender ideology in their schools, and he answers a couple of emails on how Christians should engage under the new Labour regime and the thorny question of hell.Please Support!Support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend).

El sindicato de funcionarios del Estado se prepara para un conflicto de largo aliento. La razón es la entrada en vigencia de un nuevo sistema de certificaciones médicas para los empleados públicos. Según el nuevo régimen, que entró en vigor este lunes 1 de abril, los funcionarios públicos pasan a tener nueve días de licencia por enfermedad paga al año y a partir del décimo día de inasistencia en el año, de forma alternada o consecutiva, cobran “un monto equivalente al 75% o al 100% de su salario por todo concepto según corresponda”. En líneas generales, hasta ahora a estos funcionarios no se les descontaba salario cuando se certificaban. La situación planteaba diferencias con el sector privado, donde –salvo acuerdos o beneficios específicos– al trabajador no se le paga los tres primeros días de ausencia por razones de salud y a partir del cuarto día se le abona un subsidio por el 70% de su salario. En respuesta a esta nueva normativa, la Confederación de Organizaciones de Funcionarios del Estado (COFE) definió un plan de acción que incluye la presentación de un recurso administrativo, una denuncia ante la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) y “consultas jurídicas pertinentes” para iniciar una acción de inconstitucionalidad ante la Suprema Corte de Justicia. El sindicato sostiene que el MTSS nunca cumplió con el compromiso de instar a todos los ámbitos del Estado a instalar las bipartitas de salud laboral correspondientes. Para COFE, el tema debía ser discutido en la negociación colectiva. Vamos a profundizar en este cambio que se está implementando en el estado. Conversamos En Perspectiva con el Dr. Ariel Sánchez, director de la Oficina Nacional del Servicio Civil.

We've come to expect the politically correct and increasingly “woke” posture of many of the Church of England's official statements and policies in recent years. Recent announcements on issues such as race, Islam, sexuality, and even evangelism, showcase a desire to “play nice” with the secular and multicultural political establishment rather than offering a genuinely prophetic voice. But is the CofE's descent into ever more progressive viewpoints is inevitable? What about those who seek to reform Anglicanism from within, restoring its evangelical roots? Is there a case for disestablishing the Church of England altogether? What would we lose (or gain) if we did? Andy (a reluctant Anglican) and Aaron (a Methodist exile) dive into this entirely non-controversial topic with the usual mix of wit, wisdom, and insight.

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to discuss the big talking points in church and state. This time: the Church of England is hiring a Deconstructing Whiteness officer. The role can be yours alongside a salary of 36k. In other CofE news, a billion pounds is going to be raised by the Church Commissioners to repay the descendants of African slaves and the report recommending this also suggests an apology for displacing "traditional African religion". We ask if this is all really an appropriate use of the Church of England's assets and what it reveals about its underlying motivations and theology.In civic news, Rishi Sunak has given a bizarre speech in which he reveals something of his own personal political theology.

Church of England vicars with a difference Daniel French, Thomas Pelham, and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the most important issues in church and state. This time, we have a special conversation about the Church of England's most recent General Synod in which the Bishop of Dover said that every parish in the CofE should draw up a "race action plan" and that we should be more woke than we already are. In other news, an amendment to a motion concerning the controversial Living in Love and Faith process claiming that there exist people who do not agree to agreeing to disagree is rejected for somewhat obscure reasons. We ask the important questions: Does racism really exist in the Church of England? If it does, what legitimate means should the Church take to address it? Should vicars and, indeed the Church, be political in nature, or spiritual, or both? This, and much much more as ever.

From the Archives: First Aired in 2011, today's Classic Replay takes an in-depth look at some of the most contentious passages in the Bible when it comes to women's roles and leadership in the Church. In 1995 the Church of England allowed the ordination of Women priests, but the question of whether the Bible forbids female authority in the church remains today. Christina Rees is a writer and broadcaster and served on the Archbishop's Council and the General Synod for 25 years. For many years Christina was Chair of WATCH (Women and the Church), the group that led the campaign for women bishops and that works for women's equality in the Church. Our other guest is the Rev John Richardson, who disagrees with female ordination. John was a speaker, lecturer and a member of the former conservative Evangelical grouping Reform within the CofE. John passed away a few years after this episode in 2014. Today's guests debate passages in the New Testament that appear to forbid women speaking in Church, the role of husbands and wives and the practical realities of men and women being church leaders.

Fergus Butler-Gallie: Confessions of a young priest God calls into ordained ministry those who he cannot save any other way. That's what Fergus Butler-Gallie was once told. It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, nevertheless, Fergus thinks there's something in it. The 31 year-old was ordained in his mid 20s and has since enjoyed a front row seat to the peculiarities and eccentricities which make up the fabric of ordained ministry. His latest book, Touching Cloth, is a treasure trove of entertaining anecdotes and in this candid interview with Premier Christianity's Sam Hailes, Fergus retells some of the stand out moments, including the time he and a group of flower arrangers were stuck in the vestibule trying to disable an exceptionally loud rape alarm. He also opens up about the difficulties he's faced within the institution of the CofE and gives his view on what the future of the Church might look like.

We also discuss the potential separation of the Church of England from the British government, a move that could redefine the UK's religious landscape.Subscribe to this Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Overcast Follow Us on Social Media @ChristianPost on Twitter Christian Post on Facebook @ChristianPostIntl on Instagram Subscribe on YouTube Get the Edifi App Download for iPhone Download for Android Subscribe to Our Newsletter Subscribe to the Freedom Post, delivered every Monday and Thursday Click here to get the top headlines delivered to your inbox every morning!

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to review the big talking points in Church and culture. This week, we catch up with Daniel's thoughts on the liberalisation of the clergy in the CofE, whilst Jamie comes face-to-face with Antifa at the March for Life. On Twitter, pro-life campaigners are being lambasted by liberal vicars, whereas a Tik Tok video espousing the freedom and joy of not having kids, watching box sets and making shakshuka has gone viral. We also review several encouraging emails that we think show encouraging trends in the culture, particularly among young men who are interested in serious forms of Christianity. And we ask (again!) why the central hierarchies of the churches are ignoring these glorious opportunities.That, a question on the Sabbath, and much much more as always!For Jamie's Substack, mentioned at the beginning of this episode, please see: https://jamiefranklin.substack.comPlease Support!Support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend).

Church of England vicars with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to give a spiritual perspective on the big events of the day. This week, after an absence on the show, Tom gives his own inimitable take on the coronation of King Charles III, we review a Daily Telegraph headline article that tells us that the lockdowns were an enormous, disastrous mistake (about three years too late), and we talk about Laura Dodsworth's recent Substack article in which she shares her desire to go back to church but finds difficulty with the wokeness and lack of spirituality on display in local CofE outlets. We ask why the Church of England hierarchy continues to promote the alternative green religion of Net Zero and engages so little with traditional Christian themes of sin, repentance, forgiveness and eternal life.

When the late Queen died, Charles not only became King, he became head of the Church of England. Elizabeth II had spoken very personally of her faith on a number of occasions, and church events are a huge part of the royal calendar, whether it is the Commonwealth Day service or the family's traditional Easter and Christmas gatherings at Windsor and Sandringham. The Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, former Bishop of Kensington and now running the CofE's Centre for Cultural Witness programme, joins Pod Save The King host Ann Gripper to explore the relationship between the royal family and the church. They also reflect on the religious significance of the coronation, its regalia and the impact of the change in Sovereign on the Church.
