Following the Bishops' announcement this week proposing that the Church of England offer prayers of blessing to same-sex couples, a proposal that will be debated at General Synod next month, James and Wayne discuss some of the issues behind the issue: how can we have an established church in post-Christian culture? And what happens when a faith-group that is increasingly marginalised still has a significant role in public life?

This is the first in a short series we'll be recording about sexuality and same-sex marriage.
