On today’s episode of Cross Section, the team have a focused and in-depth conversation on the riots taking place across Europe and especially France in recent days. Join Peter Lynas, Alicia Edmund and Danny Webster as they analyse what sparked these violent disturbances and how likely is it for rioting to spill out onto the streets in the UK. The team discuss the role of the church and how our Christian faith helps us engage and address issues of civil unrest, mass migration and extremism in today’s episode. This is an episode not to be missed.
