In this week's special episode, Clinton and Jamie were joined by Bishop of Burnley Philip North who spoke to us about his vision for catholic evangelism in the Church of England. Is there a distinctive mode of catholic - as opposed to evangelical - evangelism and what does it look like in normal parish life? Bishop Philip also touched on the importance of personal discipleship and engaging preaching that seeks to affect not just the mind but also the heart. As always, he was also keen to stress the particular emphasis that the Anglo-Catholic movement has placed on ministry with and for deprived communities and the role of aesthetic beauty and liturgical worship in that context.

Clinton and Jamie discuss Lent. What is Lent? What is the point of it? Shouldn't we put in an effort all the time rather than during just one season? What are the benefits of the practices of Lent such as fasting? These and many more questions are discussed and an attempt at answers is made!

In this episode, Clinton Collister and Jamie Franklin are joined by ordinand and popular public commentator Calvin Robinson. In a wide-ranging conversation, we spoke with Calvin about the role of education and catechesis in the Church, the family and society more widely. We also touched on the centrality of the transcendent not just for discipleship within the Church but for evangelism and outreach. Calvin also gave us his thoughts on the under-appreciated classic work of catechetical instruction The Catholic Religion by Vernon Staley!

Holy CofE is back for the New Year! Clinton and Jamie take on the thorny issue of confirmation. What is confirmation and what are its benefits? How does the contemporary practice differ from that of the ancient church? What is the difference between the effects of baptism and confirmation? Is the Holy Spirit imparted in confirmation only or in baptism and confirmation? And, if the latter, what is the difference between the two? Should non-confirmed but baptised Christians receive the Eucharist? Definitive answers are attempted if not guaranteed!

We were enormously privileged to be joined by one of the great living theologians of our time Hans Boersma. We discuss Hans' most recent work Seeing God: The Beatific Vision in Christian Tradition. What is the relationship between creation and eschatology? How does the way that we think about the end of our existence change the way that we live today? Don't miss this fascinating and rare insight.

For this special episode, Clinton and Fr Jamie sat down with Fr Lee Nelson of Christ Church Waco to talk about the procreative good of marriage. What role should children play in a Christian marriage and how does God use the family to sanctify those called to family life? A wide ranging conversation which we hope will be helpful  to anybody whether single or married.
Fr Jamie apologises that the gain on his microphone was turned up too high on this episode so his contribution is louder and more distorted than it should be.

In this episode, Fr Jamie and Clinton Collister get into the thorny theological issues around the feasts of All Saints and All Souls: What is the intermediate state? Should we pray for the dead? What about the invocation of the saints in heaven? And what do we make of the Romish doctrine of purgatory?

In this very special episode, Clinton and Jamie are joined by principal of Pusey House, Fr George Westhaver to discuss the mystical exegesis of Scripture practiced by the Church Fathers, how these exegetical practices were picked up and used in the early Oxford Movement and how we today might benefit from a rediscovery of these treasures.
