This week, the Evangelical Alliance has launched a landmark report ‘Understanding UK Evangelicals’ and in this episode of Cross Section, Peter Lynas, Alicia Edmund and Danny Webster unpack the research. How many evangelical Christians are in the UK? What is the demographic makeup? Can we trust the findings?
The team also reflect on the fall of the assisted suicide bill, St Pauls cathedral being turned into a night club, Trump’s comments about a united Ireland and Reform’s finances. This is an episode not to be missed.
