  Peter Lynas, UK director, and Alicia Edmund, head of public policy, follow up on June’s episode ​‘Should we be concerned about Christian nationalism?’ to reflect on how protests and domestic and global events continue to divide communities and polarise debate in the UK.

In this episode they unpack conversations with parliamentarians and government ministers following the Unite the Kingdom march and provide church leaders and Christians with a framework on how the scriptures speak to current political concerns about identity, immigration, Islam and freedom of religion or belief.
