Our Pharma, who art in heaven…

For our final episode before Christmas, Revs Tom and Jamie respond to Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s claims that being vaccinated is the moral thing and Christian thing to do.  They compare and contrast the archbishop’s approach with that of Michael Nazir-Ali who says that churches should stay open this Christmas as they play a vital and unique role which should not be abandoned due to the threat of the putative omicron variant.
In other news, Fraser Nelson managed to get SAGE chief modeller Graham Medley to admit that policy groups within government asks SAGE to model negative outcomes to match policies that have already been decided. And in the most shocking news of the year the WHO have told families to cancel their Christmases in order to…you guessed it: save future Christmases!
Our Question the Rev segment deals with the issue of why the Church finds it hard to speak about sin. And our scripture this week is (again) taken from Revelation 2:1-7.
