"Your comments will not stand!" with debanked vicar Richard Fothergill
Special guest the Rev'd Richard Fothergill joined revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Daniel French for the second half of this episode to discuss his recent experience of being debanked by the Yorkshire Building Society for his shockingly prejudicial comments about transgenderism. But our conversation was more wide-ranging, taking in Richard's experience in starting the international movement which goes by the name of The Filling Station (https://thefillingstation.org/) in response to the weakness of many local churches and the general spiritual darkness of the surrounding culture.
In the first half of the episode, Daniel and Jamie discussed Psalm 2 and the nations raging against Christ, the Costa Coffee transgenderism debacle and the spiritual implications of the outrageous level of inheritance tax that we are forced to pay in this country. We also covered a Question the Rev on the legitimacy or not of the NRSV translation of Scripture.
