Welcome, comrades!

Welcome to Bread and Rosaries, the UK based podcast that explores the complexities of eating the rich in the name of Jesus.

98 – Kairos II and Truth as Radical Act – Bread and Rosaries

Send us Fan MailBen and Adam take a look at the Kairos II document as well as some of its supporters and detractors in the run up to the Church of England voting to 'hear' it (not 'receive' it, because God forbid the CofE actually commits to anything).They look at why a document that mostly just states established facts about genocide, apartheid, and settler colonialism has somehow managed to turn half of Christian England rabid, with appearances from repeat podcast villains Ian Paul, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, and the Board of Deputies, as well as a truly unhinged 'Christian Declaration against Kairos II' fronted by a Christian Concern alumnus nobody has heard of. Read Kairos II hereChurch Times article on the CofE 'hearing' Kairos IISupport the showEverything Bread and Rosaries does will be free for everyone forever, but it does cost money to produce so if you wish to support the show on Patreon, we'd love you forever!Music credits at this link

Christianity where it hurts
Don’t listen to this if you are easily offended. Do listen to this if you want to be challenged about what you believe and why.

One of my favs
A great podcast. The hosts have a great dynamic and clearly know their stuff. Always an interesting and entertaining listen. My only complaint is there isn’t more episodes.
