The Church of England's Church Commissioners are ear-marking £100million (or is it £1billion?) for slavery reparations. Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology and Member of the House of Lords, Nigel Biggar says that this idea is ethically dubious and amounts to thinly-veiled self-flagellation in an effort to appear relevant to a post-Christian society in the face of the Church's dwindling numbers and influence. CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with Lord Biggar about his new book and related issues:<ul><li>The shady world of the Church of England's Project Spire: its methodology, processes and rationale for reparations.</li><li>Historical arguments for and against reparations by the Church of England.</li><li>The wider context of the ethical debate around reparations including the ubiquity of slavery, British abolitionism and the suppression of slavery, and the "riotous jungle of history".</li><li>Why arguments for reparations are based on a lack of understanding of, and sympathy for, our forbears.</li><li>What is the relationship of Woke orthodoxy to Christianity.</li><li>The Early Church and slavery.</li><li>The legality (or not) of reparations.</li><li>Hopes for the new book and the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, vis-a-vis this issue.</li></ul>Find Lord Biggar's Substack 'The Biggar Picture': <a href='https://www.nigelbiggar.co.uk/'>https://www.nigelbiggar.co.uk</a>You make this podcast possible.
