A Step Closer to the Abyss - with Rod Dreher

Church of England revs with a difference Jamie Franklin and Thomas Pelham sit down to respond to the biggest story of the week, the progression in Parliament of the Assisted Suicide Bill, leading the UK a significant step closer towards the legalisation of state-sponsored euthanasia. They are also joined by author and journalist Rod Dreher to talk about Rod's new book Living in Wonder: Finding Mystery and Meaning in a Secular Age. Rod talks to them about recovering a sense of the presence of God and visceral meaning in the context of disenchanted Modernity, how to promote Christian orthodoxy to a generation more interested in the occult than Christ, how Christian enchantment differs from paganism, how attention changes the spiritual life, and, of course, UFOs! All that and much much more in this very special episode! Rod Dreher Substack: https://roddreher.substack.com Rod Dreher Living in Wonder: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Wonde... Please Support!
