    S3 Ep1: LGBTQIA+ and the Church

    Generous Faith Series 3 Episode 1: LGBTQIA+ and the Church Guest: rev Charlie Bell   Generous Faith is a series hosted by Reverend Georgia Ashwell, a podcast that celebrates the curious and the questioning. In these challenging times we’re thinking about how to live a good life – a life which embraces questions and explores a generous way to understand faith, life and the world. Join Georgia and featured guests each month to seek those spaces found between the binaries, spaces where beauty and mystery often dwell. This podcast is produced by St John’s Waterloo in collaboration with Morley Radio.   It is not a secret that, unfortunately, the Church has a reputation of being homophobic. And that is because despite the many LGBTQIA+ people, priests and bishops who advocate and long for an affirming and inclusive church, the Church of England still holds particular view points and practices that prevent full inclusion and affirmation of LGBTQI+ people. So why and how does the Church of England maintain this institutional homophobia? What is being done to push against it? Surely, with the ever-growing presence of the far right the Church should be a place of safety for all, especially minority groups. It begs the question – just where is the power and how is it being used?

    Generous Faith Series 2 Episode 2: Nature, Faith and Psychedelics Guests: Annette Kaye & Muzammal Hussain  We are intricately connected to the natural world which brings so much joy and beauty, as well as disaster and devastation because of climate injustice for many people across the world – and more so on those who have contributed the least to the climate crisis.

Join Georgia and featured guests each month to seek those spaces found between the binaries, spaces where beauty and mystery often dwell. This podcast is produced by St John’s Waterloo in collaboration with Morley Radio.   We begin season 2 with a magical conversation. Is magic evil? Can you believe in God and magic? Is it all the same? Join me, Georgia Ashwell, as I interview two guests, Max Gordon, a tarot reader, astrologer and psychic from the U.S, who has been reading professionally for over thirty years. And Dr Shanon Shah, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, King's College London (KCL). He conducts academic research on minority religions and alternative spiritualities at the Inform, an educational charity affiliated with KCL.   Together we talk about the binary of faith and magic – why was faith always displayed as good and magic bad. But doesn’t magic occur in the bible? Christianity has at the centre of the faith – the Holy Spirit – could it be that magic and faith are not so polarised. Maybe all magic is from God.
