Church of England vicars with a difference Jamie Franklin, Daniel French, and Thomas Pelham sit down to talk about the biggest weekly stories in church and state. This time we discuss calls for a renewed debate on the death penalty for the most serious crimes in the wake of the Axel Rudakubana sentencing. And we spoke about the freshest crisis in the Church of England in the form of allegations of sexual assaults made against the Bishop of Liverpool and even of a cover-up by the Archbishop of York. All that and a few other bits and pieces as ever. Enjoy!
