The Catholic Herald Podcast: Merely Catholic with Gavin Ashenden
As the Anglican Bishop of Oxford, Steven Croft, makes the case for the Church of England allowing same-sex marriage, Father Dwight Longenecker, the acclaimed U.S. author and speaker, talks to Dr Gavin Ashenden about what is understood by marriage in the Catholic Church. This 26th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, includes a searing sociological, philosophical and theological analysis of the problems inherent in trying to redefine an ancient institution and one which in the Catholic Church has been elevated to the status of a sacrament. Their conclusions are stark and unambiguous and include the warning of the emergence of a “counterfeit faith”, even within the Catholic Church, which is intended to replace the Apostolic faith with something rather different.
With some Anglican bishops publicly changing their stance on same-sex marriage, the Church faces fresh calls to realign itself with contemporary society on LGBT+ issues. Some point to the urgent need for same-sex blessings because of the experiences of gay people who feel hurt by the Church. How should our "experience" shape our reading of Scripture? How do we keep it from essentially replacing Scriptural authority? What are the wider implications here on societal pressures for the Church to conform to the culture? Andy and Aaron explore all these questions and more in this packed episode. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: - Helen Collins, "Reordering Theological Education: Starting with Scripture" (SCM, 2020) - Steven Croft, "Together in Love and Faith Personal Reflections and Next Steps for the Church (Diocese of Oxford, 2022) - Ian Paul, 'What is the bishop of Oxford thinking?' (2022) https://www.psephizo.com/sexuality-2/what-is-the-bishop-of-oxford-thinking/ - Vaughan Roberts, "Together in Love and Faith?: Should the Church Bless Same-Sex Partnerships? A Response to the Bishop of Oxford" (Latimer Trust, 2022) (Free download @ https://www.latimertrust.org) - The Living Out website (https://www.livingout.org)
It's an issue which has divided the Church of England for decades, and now the Bishop of Oxford, the Right Reverend Dr. Steven Croft has become the most senior cleric in the Church to speak out in favour of same-sex marriage. But will the growing support for the bishop's stance make any difference to the future direction of the church? Ed Stourton explores the issue with Dr Andrew Goddard, he was on the Steering Group for the church's Living and Loving in Faith Project and is a member of the Church of England Evangelical Council, and Ben Bradshaw, a former Labour cabinet minister and practicing Anglican who sits on parliament's Ecclesiastical Committee. Could the Catholic tradition of abstaining from meat on Friday have an impact in tackling climate change? A new study suggests it could potentially reduce carbon emissions. Edward assesses the details with Professor Shaun Lacrom, from the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge, and Bishop John Arnold, the environmental lead for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. 'Ring for the King' is the campaign to recruit and train thousands of new bellringers ahead of next year's Coronation of King Charles on 6 May. Reporter Mark Hutchings joined a team of bellringers to find out what it takes to become expert in pulling the ropes. And as Remembrance weekend draws near, Major Daljinder Singh Virdee from the Defence Sikh Network explains how he was inspired to develop a version of the Nitnem Gutka Sahib, or daily Prayer Book for Sikhs in the military, after seeing an image of a Sikh soldier in the trenches during the Great War.

Is Artificial Intelligence just about robots in the future or technology in the present? What are the tensions between human flourishing and human fallibility in the development of AI? How do different world views and value systems affect the way AI is being developed and implemented? How can Christian perspectives on being human shape our approach to new technology? How can the Beatitudes speak to humans amidst the growth of AI technology?The Right Revd Dr Steven Croft is the Bishop of Oxford and a founding member of the UK Centre for Ethics and Innovation. He has served on the House of Lords Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. His blog can be found here.

In the early days of the internet, information technology could be viewed as morally neutral. It was simply a means of passing data from one point to another. But, as communications technology has advanced by using algorithms, tracking and identifiers to shape the flow of information, we are being presented with moral and ethical questions about how the internet is being used and even reshaping what it means to be human.In this episode of Big Tech, Taylor Owen speaks with the Right Reverend Dr. Steven Croft, the Bishop of Oxford, Church of England. Bishop Steven, as he is known to his own podcast audience, is a board member of the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation and has been part of other committees such as the House of Lords' Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence.Bishop Steven approaches the discussions around tech from a very different viewpoint, not as an academic or technologist but as a theologian in the Anglican church: “I think technology changes the way we relate to one another, and that relationship is at the heart of our humanity.” He compares what is happening now in society with the internet to the advent of the printing press in the fifteenth century, which democratized knowledge and changed the world in profound ways. The full impacts of this current technological shift in our society are yet to be known. But, he cautions, we must not lose sight of our core human principles when developing technology and ensure that we deploy it for “the common good of humankind.” “I don't think morals and ethics can be manufactured out of nothing or rediscovered. And if we don't have morality and ethics as the heart of the algorithms, when they're being crafted, then the unfairness will be even greater than they otherwise have been.”

Jesus shows us life in all its fullness. That abundant life is first contemplative and second compassionate. You might think that love of God and neighbour says everything there is to say. But we also need to look and find in the story the Christ who is courageous.
The English word courage comes from the Latin word cor, which means heart. To be courageous is to be whole-hearted in our lives and in our faith. to encourage someone is, literally, to put the heart back in to them. In the language of Jeremiah, to be given a new heart.

Pope Francis has one of the most challenging vocations in the world. His calling is to lead the largest Christian Church, stretched across every continent, a Church which is full of challenges and problems. His calling, like ours, is to articulate a fresh vision of what it means to be Church in the 21st century: a Church bearing witness to the love of God in a globalising, secular, pluralist, sometimes dehumanising culture.

This picture of Jesus before the tomb of Lazarus gives us the picture of how the Church is to be in the world: the foundation of God's mission is compassion: feeling with and suffering with others. Weeping with those who weep. This episode is reflection 11 of 21. Written and read by Bishop Steven, each reflection accompanies the booklet Abundant Life.

Mary's tears are a sign of two great loves. She loves her brother, Lazarus, and she has lost him to death. As she draws near to his tomb, she weeps again. The pain of her loss remains very raw. Mary also loves Jesus, as his disciple and her friend. She is aware that Jesus has placed himself in danger by coming to the tomb.

Every disciple responds to Jesus in a different way. We are unique. In this story Martha and Mary are in exactly the same situation. They are sisters grieving the loss of their brother. They are friends of Jesus. But they respond very differently.

Martha makes the good confession of faith in a moment of great vulnerability and loss and questioning. Her brother has died. Her friend, Jesus, was not there to save him (as she thinks). She hears the promise of resurrection and life as for the end of time yet still through her tears and turmoil she believes and places her trust in Jesus as Messiah.

Seeing Jesus is not the work of a moment but the work of a lifetime. John’s Gospel offers us seven great I am sayings to reflect on and to ponder. The first six are all linked clearly to the concept of life. The seventh is all about the life of the vine flowing through the life of the disciple.

The Church is called to be like Jesus: contemplative, compassionate and courageous. The disciples are learning in this passage what that means. When Jesus discerns it is the right time to go to Lazarus, the disciples are the opposite of all these things. They are anxious, indifferent and afraid for their own safety and that of Jesus. They want to preserve their life, not give it away.

At almost every turn in the story, Jesus does the opposite of what is expected of him. He shows us that to live a contemplative life is not to live a life of quiet passivity but to live a life which is reflective, in relationship with God, a life which flows from an inner dialogue of love. We are not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed.

John tells the story of Jesus in seven great miracles or signs. They are in ascending order. They begin with the changing of water into wine. They end with the raising of Lazarus from the dead.

The story of Lazarus begins here. The aim of the story is to teach us the meaning of life in all its fullness. At the very beginning of the Gospel John says of Jesus: ‘In him was life’. The meaning of life unfolds in the pages of the Gospel in what Jesus does and in who Jesus is.

What does it mean to be a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God's world? Abundant Life looks at one of the most powerful stories in the Gospels, the raising of Lazarus. It's a story that reveals Jesus as contemplative, compassionate and courageous.
