    Tommy or Timmy?

    Tommy or Timmy?Tim Farron’s article on patriotism and idolatry prompted Ian to write Before You Diagnose Idolatry, Listen to the Working Class. In this episode of The Ragged Podcast, Ian and Mez pick up that conversation. Why do some working-class people feel that Tommy Robinson hears their concerns more readily than church leaders do? The conversation takes in flags, migration, cultural loss and the difference between challenging those who think differently to you and assuming you know what is in someone’s heart. Ian and Mez ask whether Christians have spent enough time listening to the communities they hope to reach. If we want to speak faithfully about Jesus, we need to understand what people mean before we tell them what they’ve got wrong. They also find time for Mez to compare Ian to comedian Jeff Innocent, and to remember the Tall, Skinny Christian politician whose name escaped them: Jonathan Aitken Jonathan Aitken’s story Links mentioned: Tommy Robinson’s apology to and defence of Aisha Khan-Aziz
