Customer Reviews
Fascinating range of subjects
This is a great podcast, discussing wide ranging subjects, from the very personal, such as Bishop Sarah’s experiences with Dyslexia, to the national and international. Very interesting parallels drawn between the Reformation and Brexit. Looking forward to future episodes.
Encouraging
As someone who has recently discovered I was dyslexic I found the Bishops podcast discussing the 10 points to do with dyslexia very helpful. It was encouraging to hear her comment on elements that I have found true for myself.
Bland.
The Bishop of London, probably in an attempt to sound neutral, asked only vague questions which never deepened the conversation or serve as a springboard for a interesting reflection. It was the typically boring “church lecture event”. Ironically, despite it, by criticising the Tory slogan of this election campaign “Get Brexit Done” by using exactly the same words of Jo Swinson and Labour frontbenchers (it does not get Brexit done etc.) Bishop Sarah betrayed her stance. As for Bishop Graham, it all depends how he frames the issue. If by compromise in the English Reformation, he means that by historical accident the CofE kept Cathedrals and Bishops, yes. If he means that the CofE actively sought, since the outset, a compromise position in between Rome and Geneva, then no. “ there is no compromise in between Christ and the Antichrist (referring to the Pope) was the slogan of many a Bishop and archbishop of the reformation, starting with Latimer and Archbishop Grindal. It is also worth noting that all mainstream Protestant denominations (Reformed, Lutherans and Methoditists) consider themselves catholic and reformed. Thus hardly a peculiar hallmark of Anglicanism as much of post tractarian Anglican scholarship claimed. The all thing sounded like an interview to a centrist dad who sprinkles his speech with theological words. Finally, the harsh criticism is not out of spite, I find commendable this attempt to engage with modern media. I hope that this may contribute to an improvement of the content.
