Starmer Clinging On and "Project Snowflake" at Church of England General Synod

Church of England vicars with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French talk about the big stories in Church and State. This time:

• Keir Starmer is clinging to power as folly of Epstein-linked Mandelson decision (and many other decisions) is being made increasingly apparent.
• It's the Church of England's General Synod and the new Archbishop Sarah Mullally promises to support the local and deprioritise central initiatives. But will she follow through on this promise and why is she still supporting £100 million slavery reparations initiative Project Spire?
• Project Spire itself takes a battering in question and answer session at Synod and should be renamed "Project Snowflake" as those working on the scheme are said to need special support because they can't handle questions and criticism.
• And the Living in Love and Faith gay relationships project is officially cancelled after years of fruitless toil...and then restarted again with a new "working group" to look at the same issues.

We answer some questions on talking Bibles and the link between Lockdown and the Quiet Revival, plus a few other things as always.

All that and much more as always. Please enjoy!
