Is it a sin to be rich? What should Christian politics and power look like? Jonty interviewed Shane Claiborne around 2010 and the authour/activist's answers are especially relevant today. Which is mildly depressing. Claiborne's progressive Christianity provides some inspiring answers we can apply right now.

No Lau-Lau or Drabs this episode, but Jonty muses on British and American politics (as well as "Waitrose Progressives" and pacifism, all while drinking Ice Breaker by Greene King. Which is rather nice.) So if you're interested in that sort of thing, you'll like it. But really, Shane Claiborne is worth listening to.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice.
