TMR 267 : Rev Phill Sacre : COVID & the Churches

"And while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends... the Word did everything."—Martin Luther We welcome to the programme Rev Phill Sacre—an ordained minister in the Church of England and host of the YouTube channel "Phill Sacre : Making Sense of the World from a Christian Perspective"—for a conversation on "COVID and the Churches". How have most of the UK churches responded to the seemingly endless stream of diktats issuing from government? Have such "rules" been submitted to adequate rational and theological questioning? Or have the churches too often been content simply to toe the line because that has seemed like "the right thing to do"? But has that always been "the right thing to do?" (Part Two will be recorded in a few weeks from now.) "Phill is a Christian minister. He is ordained in the Church of England and serves on a part-time basis in a parish on the Essex coast. The remainder of his time he devotes to his online ministries: Understand the Bible and Phill Sacre : Making Sense of the World from a Christian Perspective (on YouTube)."
