The Holy Political Podcast

Johannes de Jong, from Sallux, is back with the second half of his interview on Brexit and the EU, and Christian attitudes towards both.

Plus Ally Henderson is back to chat with us about it, and we also look at the fallout from the death of a former Russian double agent and his daughter in Salisbury.

Enjoy!

Dr Peter Saunders, Chief Executive of the Christian Medical Fellowship and formerly a general surgeon, speaks to us about the tragic and difficult case of Alfie Evans, which dominated world news last week, as well as a couple of other historic medical cases in the courts at the moment. Read Peter's blog on Alfie Evans here.

Plus we look at the local election results.

Thanks for listening!

We're back in a few weeks, but in the run up to the new term we're playing you three of our favourite interviews from the archives.

This week, we're replaying our interview with Michael Wear, the former White House adviser to Barack Obama, who particularly worked on issues related to faith communities. Michael came on the podcast to talk about his experience there and also about his book, Reclaiming Hope, where he writes candidly - and sometimes critically - about the Obama administration's record on issues related to Christians.

Enjoy!

Johnny's away this week, so James is joined by a Brexiteer and a Remainer to talk about Theresa May's new position on Britain's exit from the EU. David Scullion (Deputy Editor at Brexit Central) steps up to co-host, and Ben Ryan, from Theos, chats to James about how the referendum itself left the Prime Minister's hands tied. Enjoy!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!

In this week's (post-)Christmas special, we look at MPs' cringy Christmas cards, Prime Ministers' crass Christmas messages, and ask if the label 'evangelical' is now more about politics than theology, after Tim Keller's fascinating New Yorker article on it.

Plus, we chat to our favourite Brexit journalist, David Scullion, for his own take on the Christian debates about the EU, and an update on what on earth is going on in the negotiations!

Happy New Year!
