Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down with "orthodox ordinand" Anna Mayo, one of the two leaders of the group of 78 trainee vicars who this week have petitioned the Church of England House of Bishops to desist in their attempts to move the church away from orthodoxy in the areas of marriage and human sexuality. In a wide-ranging conversation, we consider the long-term consequences of the proposed liberalisation of the Church's teaching and practice and we review a recent letter of dissent, signed by twelve bishops, which expresses concern that the proposed course of action is divisive, unorthodox and that it is being pushed through without regard to the obligations of good and proper governance.After that we select interesting issues from the week: Jamie reviews the unfolding controversy around the University and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) and Daniel follows up on some Twitter exchanges on Israel that came after the release of the episode last week.That and much much more as ever!To contact Anna: orthodoxordinands@gmail.comPlease Support!Support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend).

From a cross-cultural guest, today's episode picks up two different strands to sharing faith. First, how do we respond to those who reject their experience of church, even those who have suffered spiritual abuse? As well, what can the contrast between "Christian" and "secular" cultures teach us about conversations centred on Jesus? In both areas, it can be tricky to unpack the individual's experience from the true gospel.Inonge Siluka grew up in Zambia and moved to Scotland with her family when she was 14.

Welcome to our new series - following UCCF's studies through Luke called Uncovered - https://www.uccf.org.uk/uncover This week we start with Luke 1:1-4 and Luke 4:16-30 - who does Jesus claim to be and why is Luke writing this book?
Graham is a PhD student at Union Theological College in Belfast. Before entering PhD studies, he was Associate Minister at East London Tabernacle Baptist Church, having studied at Oak Hill Theological College in London. Before that he worked for six years with UCCF.Graham and I discuss three of his articles in this interview. First, we cover an article he wrote in the Fall of 2020 which articulated his understanding of how the state had over-reached and over-realized its ability to control a disease based on faulty assumptions regarding humanity and God. Next, we discuss the concept of resisting the state in the mind of Calvin. We explore the next generation of Reformed perspectives on resisting tyranny and how that informed a variety of viewpoints related to the relationship of church and state. Finally, we discuss the idea of being a magisterial baptist. Do baptists have a place within the magisterial reformed tradition? What limits are placed upon government in the Christian tradition? Did the reformation ruin government accountability?

Watching the final Relay races at Tokyo reminds me of the start of the Relay Programme in the UK. The idea of this internship was born in a chat with Nigel Lee walking round a golf course in Leamington Spa. I had known him for a number of years through OM and he had recently started working with UCCF. I was planning to finish my time with the organisation at the end of the year and he asked “If I was trying to persuade you to stay to help lead some change and you could do anything you wanted to do, what would it be?” This is number thirty six of a series that began life as a commitment to Counting my Blessings every day after ankle surgery on July 2nd 2021.Initially I made a brief post on social media and wrote a personal daily reflection on a Psalm following the same numerical progression.Later on in the 100 days I began to also reflect on other scriptures and combine those into my public postThese thoughts from Psalms earlier in the journey have not been made public until now as I was writing primarily for my own benefit. I have been encouraged to share these now.

We can use Halloween as an opportunity to talk to our children about fearless faith, living distinctively and loving generously. It is also the one time when our community knocks on our door. How can we love them, offer them something of Christ without compromising our deep conviction that Christ is the light of the world?People: Ed Drew - Director of Faith in Kids Amy Smith – Writer for Faith in Kids Nay Dawson lives in Southampton with her husband, Jon and two beautiful daughters. Nay works with IFES Europe as their Regional Training Co-Ordinator, previously she worked for UCCF since graduating in a variety of roles. She is the founder of Passion for Evangelism.

Nay runs an Etsy shop called Houses of Light that sells attractive postcards that tell stories that raise curiosity about Jesus.Quote from Nay:“It may well be that we don't trick or treat ourselves. My two daughters get really scared of that kind of stuff. But we were so busy last year. All we were doing was constantly filling up this box to give away ‘gift bags of light'. If you're unconvinced, go back to Scripture to see what is says about being light of the world, and if Jesus is the light of the world, we have this incredible opportunity to bring light into darkness and point to the light on this dark night.”Purchase Faith in Kids' Latest Book.

I get great joy if I see my children at church talking to older adults in the service. A way of supporting each other in our parenting is by talking to other teenagers and kids, being interested in them.

A Conversation with Elliot Hyliger (UCCF) by Lincoln Baptist Church
We can sometimes make too much of the distinction between practical ministry and spiritual ministry, emphasising one at the cost of the other.

He has been involved in CU leadership and student evangelism throughout his time at university. He is passionate about people discovering more about who Jesus is and walking with them through that journey.

Psalm 72:12-14 “For He will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save them from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence for precious is their blood in His sight.” Let your Prayer Focus be towards the most vulnerable communities and those working to help and support them during this pandemic. Pray for homeless people who can quite often have additional physical and mental health problems. Pray for social workers and those in charities in and around Leeds like The Crypt, The Lighthouse and Caring for Life who are offering extra support at this time. Pray for refugees and asylum seekers, many of them are already traumatised by situations they have fled in their own countries. Pray for Christians working for Solace and similar agencies who are offering counselling and care via digital media during the COVID-19 outbreak. Ask God to help the many migrant workers who have been laid off work but can’t go home. Some have fallen into poverty and homelessness. Pray for people working for Social Services, Department for Employment and other public services trying to quickly get emergency financial help out. Pray for the many volunteers working in Food Banks who are trying hard to keep up with the increased need for their help from those who are struggling financially. May they give out love, hope and encouragement along with the food. There are also thousands of international students in the UK who can’t go home and who are worried about their own families overseas. Pray for local churches, student groups and organisations who minister to them. Organisations like the International Students Club within our Leeds based Universities, UCCF and Friends International. The next time you’re out shopping why not buy an extra non-perishable item or two and put it in the food bank collection box which you’ll find at many supermarkets. Let your Worship Focus be to cry out a Hallelujah to Jesus recognising that He has overcome the world!

Our special guest is Krish Kandiah (PhD, Kings College London) the author of the book Paradoxology: Why Christianity Was Never Meant To Be Simple. It seems that the God of the Christian faith is full of paradoxes. A compassionate God who sanctions genocide. An all-powerful God who allows horrific suffering. A God who owns everything yet demands so much from his followers. A God who is distant and yet present at the same time. Many of us have big questions about God that the Christian faith seems to leave unanswered, so we push them to the back of our minds for fear of destabilizing our beliefs. But leaving these questions unexamined is neither healthy for us nor honoring to God. Rather than shying away from the difficult questions, we need to face them head on. What if the tension between apparently opposing doctrines is exactly where faith comes alive? What if this ancient faith has survived so long not in spite of but precisely because of these apparent contradictions? What if it is in the difficult parts of the Bible that God is most clearly revealed? In his new book Paradoxology Krish Kandiah makes a bold new claim: that the paradoxes that seem like they ought to undermine belief are actually the heart of our vibrant faith, and it is only by continually wrestling with them—rather than trying to pin them down or push them away—that we can really move forward, individually and together. He is also the founder and director of Home for Good, a charity finding homes for foster children and young refugees. An international speaker, he teaches regularly at Regent College and George Fox Seminary, and is the author of several books, including Home for Good. Krish is the vice president of Tearfund, a Christian relief and development agency. Previously, he was president of London School of Theology and also on faculty at Oxford University. He has also worked with students in the UK with UCCF, and in Albania with IFES. Krish lives with his wife, Miriam, and their seven birth, adopted, and foster children.
