The CEEC 'Making Sense Of...' Podcast
Many Christians are questioning their place in the Anglican church having been blindsided by the last year in the C of E, and there aren't many places to make 'gospel sense' of these events. Join members of the Church of England Evangelical Council and guests, as each episode we'll unpack a key topic. We'll cover evangelism, mission, biblical education, issues of culture, power and abuse, tackling racism, orthodoxy, and other topics affecting the Church of England in our cultural moment. If you want to stay informed on current issues affecting evangelicals, think biblically around key issues and how the Good News of Jesus impacts them, then this is the podcast for you. Hosted by John Dunnett, Ed Shaw and others. We’d love to hear your questions and suggestions for future episodes - email us podcast@ceec.info or connect on CEEC social channels. Hosted on Acast.
