In this week’s episode of Cross Section, the team do an extended news review of the last couple of weeks. This includes Global Bible Month and the adverts for the Bible that have taken over Piccadilly Circus and Times Square. What an encouragement! They also discuss Carl Lentz’s book Overcoming Infidelity and the moral implications of writing a book about that. Is it monetising sin or a story of redemption and grace? Conversation turns to the midterm elections in the USA and where this could leave President Trump.
The team then consider the current debate around slavery reparations. As Andy Burnham prepares to make a formal apology for the UK’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, is that enough? Should the UK pay? The episode finishes with a deep dive into all that is happening around the Conversion Practices Bill. Why is it so significant, and what can Christians do to speak into this topic?
