How the Church Failed During Covid w/ Benj Giffone

In this special interview, CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with pastor, Old Testament scholar and author Benjamin Giffone about his new book A House Divided: Technology, Worship, and Healing the Church After COVID (amazon.co.uk/House-Divided-Technology-Worship-…). Topics discussed:
- The downsides of online worship and why church leaders were wrong to embrace it so uncritically.
- Elitism in the church hierarchy which contributed to "laptop class" style response.
- A better way to approach the question of experts and expertise than simple capitulation.
- Hope for the future of the church and moving beyond the events of five years ago.
That and much more as ever. Enjoy!
