This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil
We all dream. Every night. Whether we remember them or not. And maybe — just maybe — those dreams aren’t random, ridiculous, or irrelevant. Maybe they’re trying to tell us something we’re too distracted, too busy, or too burned out to hear while we’re awake. Here to help us decode the language of dreams is Dr. Bonnie Buckner — founder of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, executive coach, faculty director at GWU’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, and author of The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Your Dreams to Transform Your Life . She’s spent her career teaching people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, leadership, and creative breakthroughs . We explore: Why your dreams are worth paying attention to (even the weird ones) The science and strategy behind using dreams for personal development How feelings and subconscious wisdom can point to answers What to do if you don’t remember your dreams Why slowing down might be the key to speeding up your clarity Because what if the clarity you're chasing isn't out there — it's already in you, waiting for you to slow down, shut off, and tune in?

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The number of British universities offering single-honours Theology and Religious Studies degrees in UK universities has fallen to just 21, driven by financial pressures and falling student demand. Departments have been closed, merged, and subject to redundancies. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, our panel explored why students studying A-level Religious Studies often choose not to continue the subject at university, and what institutions can do to make courses more attractive. Decisions to close departments, we heard, were driven by business plans rather than increased secularisation at board level. Meanwhile, religious groups are establishing their own colleges offering degree-level courses, shifting provision away from mainstream universities. Theos Think Tank has warned of the consequences, publishing an open letter stressing the importance of religious education in higher education. It argues that young people need the tools to navigate a diverse society and grapple with ethical challenges. Our panel of academics and teachers discussed the scale of the problem, as well as how changes to course content and better communication of its value might help turn things around. Speakers include: Dr Tim Hutchings, TRS-UK, Nottingham University Prof Matthew Guest, Durham University Dr Suzanne Owen, BASR, Leeds University Dr Roberto Catello, Liverpool Hope University Prof Chris Higgins, former vice chancellor, Durham University Prof Gordon Lynch, Edinburgh University Sarah Lane Cawte, chair RE Council Deborah Weston, NATRE Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://x.com/RelMedCentre LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

Muslims in the UK feel hugely under-represented in the media, and research suggests almost 60 per cent of all articles are negative, according to speakers at the Religion Media Festival’s panel discussion on “Muslims in Britain”. Burhan Wazir, editor-in-chief of Hyphen Online, told the audience that the vast majority of stories tend to look at Muslims from a security or Islamophobia point of view, but there was a much more nuanced conversation to be had about access to healthcare, education and how Muslims live their lives. The panel was chaired by BBC investigative journalist Poonam Taneja, and other panellists were Rizwana Hamid, director of the Centre for Media Monitoring; Akeela Ahmed, co-chair of the British Muslim Network; and Dr Azim Ahmed, deputy director at the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, at Cardiff University.

A panel discussion on British Media and British Jews considered how the war in Gaza, triggered by the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, had impacted coverage of the community in Britain. There have been reports on rising antisemitism and divisions within the Jewish community itself, with 36 members of the Board of Deputies of British Jews objecting to its stance on Gaza and making this public. A survey by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research found high community support for Israel but far less so for Binyamin Netanyahu’s government. The discussion was chaired by Richard Allen Greene, CNN’s Jerusalem Bureau chief at the time of the 7 October attack, and now in London training to be a rabbi. Panellists were: Jonathan Boyd, Executive Director, Institute for Jewish Policy Research; Rabbi Charley Baginsky, co-lead of Progressive Judaism; Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews; and Jenni Frazer, journalist and commentator.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The media landscape is changing at speed, and in this panel, millennials who are talking about religion in podcasts, film and online, explained why and how they do it. They said their audience wants to ask questions in a safe space and that millennials (currently aged 29 – 44) accept that society is pluralist. They all grew up and went to school with people of all faiths, so it was ridiculous not to take faith seriously. Their audience is not just brought in through knowledge-seeking, or rational argument, but through stories and feeling that the media was relatable. Hosted by TV producer Jessie Paktiazay, the guests were: Swarzy Shire, BBC 1Xtra presenter Indy and Dr Jaz, Sikh content creators with a weekly Desi podcast Islah Abdur-Rahman, Muslim founder of The Corner Shop Network creating viral clips Lamorna Ash, award-winning author of “Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever – a new generation’s search for religion” Daisy Scalchi, BBC commissioning editor, specialist factual The Religion Media Festival, held at Methodist Central Hall, London, on Monday 9 June 2025, was organised by the Religion Media Centre.

There aren’t that many reporters who specialise in reporting religion in the UK, but their diary has been overflowing in the past year. There are religious angles to all the main stories of today – the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the riots in the summer of 2024, and the needs of people in poverty helped by people of faith. The religious organisations themselves have been making headlines with the first resignation of an Archbishop of Canterbury, the death of one Pope and the election of another, and multiple sex abuse stories and cover-ups. Many of the journalists, whose work is to reflect this world to people of all faiths and none, took part in a panel discussion on how they do their jobs. Rosie Dawson chaired, with guests: Christopher Lamb, CCN Vatican Correspondent Catherine Pepinster, author and journalist Francis Martin, Church Times Kaya Burgess, Religious Affairs Correspondent and Science Reporter at The Times Maira Butt, RMC specialist reporter on Islam The Religion Media Festival, held at Methodist Central Hall, London, on Monday 9 June 2025, was organised by the Religion Media Centre.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요When Labour swept to power in July 2024, it promised to work with faith leaders in a programme of national renewal. Soon after, summer riots across Britain, after the murder of three girls in Southport, revealed a breakdown in social cohesion and tested community relations. One year on, a panel at the Religion Media Festival discussed what had happened since, and how community was being rebuilt and maintained across Britain. Editors spoke of how they had reported on communities coming together to clean up town centres, and their efforts to rebuild trust and tackle fake media. Faith leaders wanted to see what practical measures journalists had to rebuild trust, to report on faith group initiatives locally and to encourage young people in plans for the future. The faith minister’s adviser, Lord Russell Rook, said there was much work to be done to unlock the power of faith in local communities. No one group could do this alone; what was needed was an "ecosystem" of organisations. Leo Devine chaired this panel with guests: Gary Newby, news editor at ITV News Central Yakub Qureshi, democracy editor at Reach plc Manjit Kaur, co-chair Coventry and Warwickshire SACREs Rabbi Warren Elf, MBE, co-chair of Faith Network for Manchester Professor Adeela Shafi, founder of the Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership Group and commissioner for race equality in Bristol The Religion Media Festival, held at Methodist Central Hall, London, on Monday 9 June 2025, was organised by the Religion Media Centre.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Sir Mark Thompson, chief executive of CNN and former director-general of the BBC, told the Religion Media Festival that religion is important for journalists to understand and report well, not least because the overwhelming majority of people in the world have some level of commitment to it. A committed Catholic, he found religion “intriguing and fascinating”, but not everyone in the media business agreed. Interviewed by the BBC’s home editor, Mark Easton, he said religion plays a much bigger part in American life than in Britain, and more often, it’s woven into political discussion. The fact that really serious, powerful political figures in the United States are trying to advance a broad cultural or political point by getting involved in particular questions of doctrine, was a good example of why journalists should take it seriously.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The Church of England General Synod has concluded its annual residential meeting in York, after a wide-ranging agenda on internal affairs, as well as issues affecting the country. They heard from a Brigadier about the dangerous world and the need for the church to prepare for war and support the chaplains. The Archbishop of Jerusalem addressed the synod on the plight of people in Gaza and won two standing ovations. A synod debate on assisted dying showed an overwhelming number against, and another on a redress scheme for survivors of abuse was welcomed as a step forward in the church's recent story of scandals. Internally, a bumper £1.36 billion funding package for dioceses over the next three years was agreed, along with a rise in clergy pay and pensions, and more money for low-income and deprived parishes. And in a striking moment, peace broke out in the sometimes hostile debate on same-sex marriage, with agreement to bin a 'pernicious' document on homosexuality from 34 years ago.

A global project to examine the changing role of religion in society during the Covid pandemic has reviewed what happened in five societies - Canada, Germany, Poland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Academics looked at the place of religion in the health services with, for example, disagreements over the ethics of using certain vaccines; the changing relations with governments over closure of places of worship and helping vulnerable, isolated people; and digital innovation as groups communicated with each other online forging new relationships, while online worship and prayer transformed religious practices. The researchers interpreted their findings within the framework of secularisation and asked whether this process had been accelerated by Covid.

Who is Cardinal Robert Prevost, the man chosen to be the next Pope? Made a cardinal only in 2023, born in Chicago, a citizen of Peru where he spent much of his ministry, an Augustinian, a linguist, a tennis player, a calm and quietly spoken man, but his views on major issues facing the church today are largely unknown. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, the panel tried to piece the jigsaw together from clues about his past public comments and even his choice of name as Pope Leo XIV. They sensed Catholics around the world are buzzing with anticipation as to what he might do next. Will the progressive changes by Pope Francis remain, and what will be his influence across the world, and especially in America?

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Catholic cardinals are in Rome, preparing for the conclave when the next Pope is chosen. The process is familiar to millions through the film "Conclave" which tells the story of the rituals, ambition and politics involved as candidates emerge for consideration. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, journalists and commentators joined Catholics from England and Wales to give a view on the likely candidates, the key issues they will be required to address, and the character they are looking for to take over from Pope Francis. There was some agreement that they were looking for a leader and administrator, but also a pastor and great communicator, with a passion for social justice and an ability to show the kind of servant leadership modelled by Pope Francis, giving dignity to people on the margins. But there was a reluctance to favour one candidate over another; in fact, there was a note of caution that the outcome is very difficult to predict with unlikely candidates often coming through, and there was wide support for schemes which ask Catholics to pray for each cardinal in the conclave as they take their decision from 7 May. Ruth Peacock hosted, with speakers including: Catherine Pepinster, author and journalist Michael Kelly, Director of Public Affairs for Aid to the Church in Need, Ireland; and former editor of The Irish Catholic Richard Allen Greene, editorial lead for CNN's coverage of the last conclave in 2013 Elena Curti, who covered the conclaves of 2005 and 2013 for The Tablet, reporting from the Vatican Brenden Thompson, CEO of Catholic Voices Julia Cocoran, presenter of 'Things I Wish I Knew' podcast, Jesuits in Britain Dr Mark Nash, Southwark Diocese co-director of Ongoing Formation and the Director of the Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis Georgia Clark, project manager 'Called to Bear Fruit' Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://x.com/RelMedCentre LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

Pope Francis’ death at 88 has been mourned across the world, with tributes to his compassion, defence of the marginalised, advocacy for the poor, consistent appeals for world peace, and brave moves to open up decision making in the church. Among the tributes, he was described as ‘the very human, holy man of God’. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, a panel of Catholic commentators remember his 12 years in office, a time of immense global change. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, the panel included: Professor Tina Beattie, Christian theologian, writer and broadcaster; Catherine Pepinster, journalist and author; Sr Dr Gemma Simmonds, senior Fellow and Director of Religious Life Institute, The Maragret Beaufort Institute; Fr Christopher Jamison, Abbot President of the English Benedictine Congregation; Prof Brendan Gallaher, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Exeter; Prof Anna Rowlands, St Hilda Professor of Catholic Social Thought & Practice, University of Durham; Dr Lorna Gold, Executive Director at the Laudato Si' Movement; and Kerry Weber, an executive editor for America, a US based multi media organisation in the Jesuit tradition.

53:42 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요53:42
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요"The Quiet Revival" , a report by The Bible Society, indicates a revival of Christianity in England and Wales, with congregations up in the last four years from 8 to 12 per cent, a growth largely fuelled by Gen Z – young people aged 18-24. The conclusion is based on a survey of 13,000 people by YouGov, commissioned by The Bible Society. It found 16 per cent of Gen Z attended church once a month, compared to 4 per cent four years ago. The most dramatic increase in churchgoing, according to the research, is among young men, where attendance increased from 4 to 21 per cent. The report authors say community and a sense of belonging is the key explanation. Ruth Peacock and Jessie Paktiazay, a producer and director at Three Arrows Media, hosted this discussion with report authors Dr Rhiannon McAleer, Director of Research and Impact at Bible Society and Dr Rob Barward-Symmons, Head of Research, Theos. The findings buck the trend of reported decline among the main denominations and our other panellists discuss the findings: Dr Tim Hutchings, University of Nottingham researcher and teacher, specialising in the field of religion, media and culture; Christopher Gasson, author and commmissioner of OnePoll which suggested Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to say they are “spiritual” than older people, and less likely to identify as atheists; and Dr Peter Brierley, statistician who has been collecting and analysing church statistics for 50 years.

It's five years since the Church of England began producing a National Online Service. Since its inception during the first COVID lockdown, it has become a fixture, especially for people who are ill, housebound or living remotely. More than a third of parish churches and those of other denominations have maintained their online Sunday service since the pandemic. In this briefing, our panel reviews the way churches have adapted worship and other activities to the online space, the benefits of online worship and the impact of this on the number of people attending church in person, as congregations dwindle and church buildings close. Our speakers included: Professor Scott Thumma, co-director of at Hartford Institute for Religion Research, Connecticut; Dr Tim Hutchings, University of Nottingham Rev Dr Peter Phillips, Programme Director for the MA in Digital Theology and Tutor in Theology at Spurgeons College, London Rev Tony Miles, Superintendent Minister and Team Leader of Methodist Central Hall, Westminster and a well-known broadcaster Rev Canon Zoe Heming, Canon for Mission at Newcastle Cathedral Ben Sims, National Churches Trust Head of Fundraising and Public Affairs Amaris Cole, Head of Digital at the Church of England Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The British Muslim Network is a new organisation which will talk to the government about issues affecting Muslim communities such as health, education, immigration, equalities and the economy. The network will include public figures from politics, media, business, entertainment and sport, as well as imams, lawyers, doctors and academics. Events will be held for Muslim communities to speak to each other and common concerns will be shared with the government to bring change. Successive governments have failed to engage formally with Muslim organisations since 2009, when links were broken with the Muslim Council of Britain, and the organisers of the Network say they hope to address a sense that Muslims feel marginalised and that their voices are not heard. Ruth Peacock hosted with guests: British Muslim Network co-chair, Imam Qari Asim; Dr Naomi Green, Assistant Secretary General, Muslim Council of Britain; Burhan Wazir, Editor Hyphen Online; and Haniya Aadam, head of civic engagement at the Green Lane Majid in Birmingham.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The Church of England's General Synod has met for the first time since the Archbishop of Canterbury resigned and the Bishop of Liverpool retired, events related to safeguarding which have shocked the church. In this discussion, journalists who reported on the meeting reflect on how synod dealt with the crisis on its hands, fudging a vote on making safeguarding independent; tightening rules on clergy conduct which allow clerics to be sacked; refusing to back a suite of ideas to reform the way bishops are appointed; and applauding proposals to appoint more working-class people. Our panel saw signs of a move away from a centralised machine in the church, little sign that the synod made any impact on the CofE's national standing, and more responsibility for local churches to just carry on. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, the panel was: Francis Martin from the Church Times, Susie Leafe from Anglican Futures and Andrew Carey from the Church of England newspaper.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The sudden and shocking departure of the Bishop of Liverpool, John Perumbalah, following allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment against two women, one of whom was a bishop, has stunned the Church of England. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, our panel discussed the impact of his retirement on the city of Liverpool, the wider Church of England and its standing in the nation, where it is the established church. There were stories of a crisis of trust in the church, with clergy in Liverpool feeling disillusioned. The role of the media was discussed, as it was journalists who told the story of the allegations after which the bishop resigned. He denied he had done anything wrong and criticised his "trial by media". The conversation highlighted the need for improved CofE safeguarding processes, with proposals coming up at the next General Synod meeting for an independent organisation to handle complaints and a new system for dealing with misconduct. Ruth Peacock, Tim Wyatt, Mick Ord and Catherine Pepinster asked the questions. The guest speakers are: the Archdeacon of Liverpool, Miranda Threlfall-Holmes; Rev Stuart Haynes, Director of Communications for the Diocese of Liverpool; the Bishop of Blackburn, Philip North; Fr Alex Frost, podcaster and vicar of St Matthew the Apostle, Burnley, and a general synod member; Rev Canon Rachel Firth, Vicar of Huddersfield Parish Church, so a synod member; and Theo Hobson, journalist and author of Against Establishment: An Anglican Polemic (2003).

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration camp, will be commemorated across the world on 27 January. 1.1 million people were killed there, mostly Jews, but also Polish people, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, gays, and criminals. Auschwitz is a symbol of the Holocaust and 27 January is remembered as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The images and stories of survivors are well documented, but less well known is that Auschwitz was home to at least six orchestras, formed of prisoners and commissioned by the SS. Musicians incarcerated there composed and arranged scores - many of their manuscripts are incomplete while others are damaged beyond recognition. A young British musician, Leo Geyer, who has painstakingly restored and completed their work, joined the briefing to explain his discovery. Young musicians have been brought together to recreate the compositions, which they perform as the story is told in a documentary on Sky Arts on the evening of Monday 20 January. Other guests are Holocaust survivor, Joan Salter, and Laura Marks, Chair of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. The host is Richard Allen Greene, formerly CNN's Jerusalem Bureau Chief, now training to be a Rabbi.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요What stories about religion can journalists expect to make the headlines in 2025? That was the question for our first briefing of the year, when a panel of journalists and commentators gingerly made predictions for the year ahead. At home, the appointment of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the volatile state of the Church of England will be centre stage. The new UK Labour government, which faced riots only weeks after taking office, faces high hopes from people wanting to see more engagement with diverse communities, to promote peace on the streets. There's a demand for improved good relations within faith groups and between people from different traditions. Alongside this, war in the Middle East and Ukraine, the new presidency of Donald Trump, rising disquiet at populism played out through social media and inaction over climate change, will all touch the UK and provide issues for comment and debate through the year. Rosie Dawson hosted this discussion with guests: Madeleine Davies, Senior Writer at the Church Times Richard Allen Greene, formerly CNN's Jerusalem Bureau Chief, now training to be a Rabbi Burhan Wazir, Editor in chief, Hyphen Online Sr Gemma Simmonds CJ, senior research fellow, Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology, Cambridge Peter Heneghan, communications consultant Kaya Burgess, Religious Affairs Correspondent and Science Reporter at The Times For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

2024 turned out to be quite a year for news about religion and in our last briefing of the year, we looked back at some of the headlines, the arguments, the characters, and the public events that brought religion to the fore. Headlines include the historic resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury; the way religion met public policy with a vote to allow assisted dying in England and Wales; the global synod of Catholics in Rome with disappointment for women's campaigners; summer riots and attacks on British Muslims; how the Gaza war spilled over to inflame tensions here, with a rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia; the abrupt closure of the Interfaith Network after 40 years; warm words about religious organisations in the UK election and a new Faith Minister; How evangelicals helped put Trump back in the White House; the 40th anniversary of the attack on Golden Temple, Amritsar and the opening of the $217 million Hindu temple Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, our interviewers were our RMC journalists Catherine Pepinster and Rosie Dawson; and our guests were Kaya Burgess, Religious Affairs Correspondent for The Times; Austen Ivereigh, Catholic journalist, author and commentator; Richard Allen Greene, formerly an editor with CNN now training to be a rabbi; RMC reporter on British Islam, Maira Butt; and RMC reporter on the Sikh tradition, Liz Harris.

The Assisted Dying bill was passed in the House of Commons by 55 votes and now moves on for further consideration. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, a panel of religious leaders, academics and hospice chaplains consider the repercussions of the bill after a hotly contested debate that was highly emotional. Among their issues of concern were what happens to medical staff within the small teams dealing with terminally ill patients, who refuse to have anything to do with it, some on the grounds of their faith. How is palliative care to be improved amid so many other needs in the NHS? How are vulnerable people to be protected? There were wider issues thrown up in the debate - we need as a society to talk about death and the fear associated with it. What is the place of religion in society now that Christian influence is waning, and will this decision be seen as an act of betrayal by the NHS, destroying trust in a public service which is always there to care and repair except in death. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, the panel included: Dr Matthew Doré, honorary secretary of the Association of Palliative Care Medicine for Great Britain and Ireland Bishop John Sherrington, Lead Bishop for Life Issues Dr Mansur Ali, Senior Lecturer in Islamic Studies, Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, University of Cardiff Rev Professor Douglas Davies, Dept of Theology and Religion, and Director of the Centre for Death and Life Studies Rev Karen Murphy, hospice chaplain for 25 years, now at Weston Hospicecare in Weston Super Mare For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

1 RMC Briefing: 'Seismic shock' as Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigns over abuse scandal 57:15
57:15 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요57:15
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The resignation of Justin Welby as Archbishop of Canterbury has left the Church of England reeling. There is consensus that he had no option after the publication of the Makin report which exposed the horrific abuse of young men and boys by the barrister, John Smyth, and a decades-long cover-up by the Church of England. Smyth led Christian summer camps run by the Iwerne Trust which Justin Welby attended as a young man. From the mid-1970s, Smyth groomed boys and then took them back to his garden shed where they were beaten until they bled. The abuse was known about in the church from the early 1980s but was covered up. Smyth left the country and died in 2018, having never been brought to justice. In a statement, Justin Welby said he was taking personal and institutional responsibility for the failure to act on the John Smyth abuse between 2013 and 2024 and had a profound sense of shame at the historic safeguarding failures of the Church of England. His resignation, which is without precedent, has been described as a seismic shock. Roger Bolton hosts this discussion with guests: Andrew Graystone, author of Bleeding for Jesus, an account of John Smyth's abuse Susie Leafe, Director of Anglican Futures Mark Stibbe, survivor, author and former vicar Frances Martin, reporter with the Church Times Professor Linda Woodhead, King's College, London Prof Helen King, member of the General Synod For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Ninety financial sector leaders and church leaders from sixteen countries, all of whom oversee significant investment portfolios, are taking part in a meeting in London this week to turbocharge the market for investments that fit Christian beliefs. The Mensuram Bonam summit, on 11 and 12 November, is the second of its kind and seeks to engage the whole “eco-system” of Christian faith-aligned capital. It is organised by Jean-Baptiste de Franssu, President of the Vatican Bank, along with five international specialist asset managers, and takes its name from a document on faith-consistent investing, which advocates that assets should be invested for the common good, respecting justice and ethical standards. Mr de Franssu, who talks of “turbo-charging the market”, estimates that Christian funding could be worth as much as $1.75 trillion – a figure that includes the financial investments of religious organisations, charities and individuals as well as dioceses. In advance of the meeting, Mr de Franssu took part in a press conference introduced by Ruth Peacock, and hosted by the Religion Media Centre, explaining to journalists the purpose of the meeting.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요As the US presidential election campaign draws to a close, we use this opportunity to speak to faith leaders and election watchers to assess the importance of religion in the election campaign. Traditionally, white evangelicals have supported Donald Trump and this briefing made clear that they appear to have largely remained loyal. The majority of Catholics also support the Republican party. But Kamala Harris is courting the Black Christian vote and makes no secret of her commitment to the Christian faith. Moral issues are centre stage, whether personal on Trump's character, crimes or moral track record, or public morals such as respect for immigrants or a woman's right to choose. The Muslim vote has become increasingly important, said to be pivotal, in Georgia and other swing states. It swayed from Republican to Democrat after the Iraq war, but it may re-align again this time as Muslims are said to be "heartbroken" at the Biden administration's response to the war in Gaza and so their votes are more difficult to predict. Hosted by Rosie Dawson, our panel included: Dr Robert P. Jones, president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute Dr Shyam Sriram, Department of Political Science at Canisius University in Buffalo, New York Dr Galen Carey, National Association of Evangelicals vice president of government relations Robert McCaw, Government Affairs Department Director At the Council of America Islamic Relations Nazia Khanzada, Communications Manager, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Georgia Jennifer Ewing, Republicans Overseas UK Kristin Wolfe, Democrats Abroad in the UK For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

1 RMC Briefing: How faith groups including churches are providing health care in their communities 55:06
55:06 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요55:06
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The National Churches Trust has produced a report pointing out that churches provide health care which would otherwise cost the NHS £8.4 billion to deliver. "The House of Good Health" lists services such as youth groups, food banks, support for drug and alcohol addiction, and a listening ear for mental health counselling. But the report warns that this provision of care is in jeopardy because of the number of churches at risk of closure. It is published as many faith groups develop a wide variety of health care services based in their buildings, a trend sure to continue following Lord Darzi's report into the NHS, which recommends more emphasis on health care in the community rather than hospitals. Rosie Dawson hosts this discussion on the existing supply of services, how churches and faith groups collaborate with multiple public sector organisations, why their offer is essential to reach especially minority communities - and a warning to the NHS not to dump the most difficult and vulnerable cases onto faith groups, unless they have the necessary resources to cope. Our speakers include: Sir Philip Rutnam, chair National Churches Trust Merron Simpson, chief executive of The Health Creation Alliance, improving health across all sectors Steve Fouch, chair of Parish Nursing Ministries UK Esther Platt, from the Good Faith Partnership. on social prescribing Rev Katy Hacker Hughes, priest pastor at St Marylebone Church, London, which has a GP on the premises.

1 RMC Briefing: The place of religion in the assisted dying debate 57:48
57:48 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요57:48
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요A bill to allow assisted dying in England and Wales will be put before the Commons on 16 October, the first time in nine years that MPs will have had the chance to vote on the issue. The Lords have debated it many times, but in all cases, the measures have been defeated. This time, with a new intake of Labour MPs, and support from the Prime Minister for a free vote, there is hope among supporters that it will progress. But this Religion Media Centre briefing shows there remains entrenched opposition, including from bishops, amid concern that disabled and vulnerable people will feel under pressure and safeguards will slip over time. In Islam, assisted suicide is absolutely prohibited, which will pose problems for the 10 per cent of medical professionals who are Muslim. The briefing addressed the theological argument that life is sacred, with a view that this is not just about deities or the afterlife, but extends to things held sacred in society such as a commitment to one another and once the red line has been crossed, it's gone. The discussion also made clear that people of faith take different positions on the issue but share a key concern to help people who die in pain. Those in favour spoke of the importance of giving people options and a choice. There was a reminder of the current reality that people are already killing themselves or dying agonising deaths and doctors are already making decisions which end life, such as switching off life support machines. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, speakers include: Kit Malthouse, Conservative MP for North West Hampshire Bishop Michael Beasley, Bishop of Bath and Wells Prof Julian Hughes, Bristol Medical School, retired consultant in old age psychiatry and editor of 'The Reality of Assisted Dying: Understanding the Issues' Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, chair of the Religious Alliance for Dignity in Dying Nathan Stilwell, Campaigns and Communications Manager Humanists UK Canon Dr Malcolm Brown, The Director of Faith and Public Life Dr Nick Spencer, senior fellow Theos Think Tank Dr Azim Ahmed, Secretary General Muslim Council of Wales For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요One year on from Hamas' attack on Israel, we brought together British Muslim and Jewish community leaders to find out how the war had impacted life in this country. Their discussion illustrates how each group "mirrored each other". Both communities have faced spikes in hate crime, leading to feelings across the board that Britain is not a safe place anymore. Social media was "absolutely bitter" and physical violence culminated in riots targeting mosques across England. In particular, speakers gave examples of the way children have been caught up in the hatred, with swastikas painted on school desks, or Muslim children name-called and ostracised. But both communities have found some hope, in quiet acts of kindness from one faith group to another, stronger relationships of support, and lighter moments of friendship. Leo Devine hosted this discussion with: Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, convenor of the Reform Beit Din, the Jewish law court for Reform Judaism in Britain Dr Jonathan Boyd, Executive Director of Jewish Policy Research, on mits report suggesting a culture of ‘ambient antisemitism’ since 7 October Dave Rich, director of policy at the Community Security Trust, which provides security advice and training for Jewish organisations Ibrahim Syed, a co-ordinator at the Liverpool Region Mosque Network and founder of Wirral Deen Centre Sheila el Dieb Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership group, engaged in community relations work with the City Council and police liaison Mohammed Ali Amla, from Solutions Not Sides For further information about RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

Community and faith leaders from towns and cities across England have spoken of the importance of free and open discussion on the causes of the riots this summer. In a Religion Media Centre briefing, bringing together participants from our 11 Creating Connections events, they spoke of their local efforts to provide opportunities for dialogue between faith groups and their need for help in finding methods that work well. There was agreement that superficial large meetings were not enough. Instead, deep conversations are needed to understand the anger, disenfranchisement and frustration which caused the unrest. In particular, the sense of injustice among young people needs to be addressed. While welcoming signals from government that it is committed to working alongside faith groups on its five missions, such as safe streets or healthcare, they warned against being co-opted and said greater responsibility required proper resourcing. Hosted by Leo Devine, speakers included Rev Ian Rutherford, Methodist minister in Manchester; Manjit Kaur of SACRE Coventry; Simon Phillips, Leeds Jewish community; Rev Joanne Thorns, Communities Together Durham; Professor Jagbir Jhutti Johal, Birmingham; Steve Botham, Birmingham.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The report into the fire at Grenfell Tower, which claimed 72 lives in 2017, says the disaster was a devastating critique of failure, incompetence, dishonesty and greed at all levels, in government and business. In a section on how religion was part of the story, the report said Muslims felt abandoned and neglected by the council. But there was one chink of hope. Faith and community organisations, which filled the vacuum left by the authorities and offered sanctuary and support, were described as "the best in humanity". In this Religion Media Centre briefing, faith leaders who were there on the front line offer their response to the report's findings and explain how collaboration between the faith groups emerged as people flocked to their buildings for help.

The US Vice President Kamala Harris will be formally nominated as the Democrat's presidential candidate at the party’s convention in Chicago this week. With a Hindu mother, Baptist father and Jewish husband, she embodies religious pluralism in a diverse country. But will this make her more or less appealing to constituencies of faith, or the non-religious? In this Religion Media Centre briefing, the speakers considered how the Democrats, a party with 30 per cent non-religious and 60 per cent Christian, are finding common ground around values, as people decide how to vote, irrespective of faith. The briefing heard the view that the conservative white evangelical support of Donald Trump, with its particular take on Christianity, has pushed the Democrats towards greater clarity that religion and the state are separate and this is what binds their party in a big tent, including people of all faiths and none. Hosted by Rosie Dawson, the speakers were: Heidi Schlumpf, National Catholic Reporter senior correspondent, who is covering the Convention Richa Karmarkar, reporter at Religion News Service, primarily covering Hinduism Alan Cooperman, director of religion research at Pew Research Centre Dr Melissa Deckman, Chief Executive Officer, Public Religion Research Institute Hemant Mehta, American author, blogger, and atheist activist Senator Kim Jackson, Georgia Rev Canon Broderick Greer, Canon Precentor St John's Cathedral, Denver For further information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

Fear and anxiety immediately followed the riots which spread across England last week, with Muslims in particular afraid to leave the house because of the hatred and violence on the streets. But in this Religion Media Centre briefing, faith leaders described how within 24 hours, faith and community leaders sought and found solidarity and support from their neighbours, other faith groups, police, councils and what has been seen as the vast majority of the British public, appalled at what they were witnessing. Speakers made clear that these were race riots. No group has felt safe and communities of all kinds felt "triggered" by the fact that angry racist outbursts emerged so quickly and were so widespread. The contrast between violence and the overnight reversal to peace has left concerns and questions, which faith leaders addressed in this discussion. Questions about British identity, the need to call out and stop Islamophobia, the need for a government strategy for social cohesion, the essential work of continuing conversations in local communities, and the challenge for teachers dealing with the aftermath when schools return in September.

1 RMC Briefing: The wave of riots and impact on British Muslims 52:39
52:39 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요52:39
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Violent thuggery in more than 20 towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland has targeted British Muslims, who are now in fear for their lives. Mosques have been attacked, hotels with asylum seekers have been surrounded by protesters, shops with Muslim owners have been ransacked or burned, and areas with high immigrant populations have been vandalised with cars overturned and torched, and bricks hurled through windows as families sat inside. Children as young as 14 have been arrested and many people have already been charged and imprisoned. In this RMC briefing, more than 20 community leaders from all parts of England tell their stories of riots, fear and distress, appeal for support to re-create stability, and express their anger that people outside the towns had come in to organise the trouble. They are shocked at the scale and ferocity of the attacks and while clean-up operations prove there is goodwill, there is also uncertainty over how to restore confidence among Muslims who are too afraid to leave their homes. Hosted by Ruth Peacock, guests were Zara Mohammed, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain; and Phil Champain, Director of the Faith and Belief Forum. Community leaders joined from Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol, Bradford, Middlesborough and Plymouth.

For a secular country hosting the 33rd Olympic Games, France finds itself dealing with religion dominating the headlines. The controversial tableau in the rain-swept opening ceremony depicting the Last Supper (or was it the Festival of Dionysius) with drag queens and a woman comedian wearing a crown, widely seen as representing Jesus, caused anger among the French Catholic bishops and conservative Christians across the globe. Then there was the silver for British swimmer Adam Peaty, who recovered his Olympics spirit with the help of a Christian spiritual adviser - the Olympics has more than 100 chaplains from five world religions. And there is continuing disquiet among French female athletes forbidden from wearing the hijab. In this briefing, our panel discusses all these stories and what they say about the understanding of laïcité - the separation of church and state - in France. Ruth Peacock hosted with a panel: Dr Graham Daniels, General Director, Christians in Sport Carolyn Skinner, Sports Chaplaincy UK Elise Ann Allen, Senior Correspondent for Crux in Rome Catherine Pepinster, journalist in the UK Prof Jocelyne Cesari, French political scientist and Islamic studies scholar Dr Jenny Uzzell, researcher on pagan studies Rev Robert Thompson, on The Last Supper For more information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

1 RMC Briefing: The swearing in ceremony for MPs united a richly diverse intake around a sacred oath 48:38
48:38 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요48:38
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The three-day swearing in ceremony for MPs in the new parliament has proved a remarkably popular watch, with the oath of allegiance to the King spoken in English, Welsh, Scottish, Gaelic, Irish and Kernewek, on a wide variety of texts including the Bible, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, Sundar Gutka, Tanakh - and none. The latest tally of MPs’ religious affiliations, outside Christianity, is 12 Sikh, 25 Muslim, 9 Hindu and 14 Jewish. Humanists UK says 40 per cent took an affirmation without swearing on a sacred text - that leaves almost 60 per cent taking the oath on some version of the Bible. But to add confusion, not all religiously affiliated MPs swore on their holy book and at least one known atheist and eight humanists swore on the Bible. How is religion part of the sacred oath of allegiance, where MPs promise to "be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law"? And is the solemn oath, with whatever words, sufficient to secure basic honesty and trust among our MPs? Leo Devine watched practically every second of the ceremony and discussed the story with guests Paul Kerensa, retired Clerk at the Commons Frank Cranmer, and theologian Sister Gemma Simmonds.

The decision by the Church of England general synod in York, to move towards allowing services for same-sex blessings, has once more revealed deep divisions, hurt, anger and anxieties. Speakers in this Religion Media Centre briefing discussed what possible moves could come next to keep the church together, where both sides are certain they are right. With the conservative evangelical wing planning to appoint "overseers", who will take over the role of bishops in pastoral oversight of people on their side of the divide, the panel discussed whether this was in fact legal. And there was an appeal for the whole church to take lessons from local parishes which stay together amicably despite differences on this issue. Tim Wyatt hosted with the panel: Peter Collier KC, retired judge and vicar general of the province of York Dr Laura Oliver, GP from Preston Rev Dr Ian Paul, Member of the Archbishops' Council Rev Jody Stowell, Vicar of St Michael and All Angels, Harrow, and co-convenor of Inclusive Evangelicals Fr Robert Thompson, St Mary's Kilburn and St James' West Hampstead, LGBTQIA campaigner For further information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

1 RMC Election Briefing: relationship between faith groups and the government 46:51
46:51 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요46:51
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요How should the incoming government work with faith groups in modern, diverse Britain? In this Religion Media Centre briefing, the panel discussed the current vacuum of communication, and heard that Muslims in particular feel alienated and ostracised. The government refuses to speak to the Muslim Council of Britain and there is no mechanism for faith groups to tap into central government. Meanwhile, the Church of England and the Catholic church among others, have well-established structures allowing access to government ministers. Labour alone in this election has promised to ensure strong partnerships with faith communities including the appointment of a faith minister to lead on engagement with faith communities. In this briefing, Sir Stephen Timms, the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group of Faith in Society, said the government’s ban on talking to the Muslim Council of Britain was “absolutely absurd” and he was confident that a new Labour government, if elected, would talk to them. He criticised the government’s withdrawal of support to the Interfaith Network, a decision he described as “extraordinarily foolish”. Lord Jim Wallace spoke for the Liberal Democrats, but the Conservatives did not put forward a spokesperson. The former faith engagement adviser under Boris Johnson, Colin Bloom, outlined the faith and government conversations held during Covid and offered recommendations for future relations. Other speakers included: Professor Adeela Shafi, Richard Chapman, Marie Southall, Phil Champain, Daniel Singleton, Amrick Singh Ubhi, and Jack Palmer-White.

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요Faith groups across the globe are passionately engaged in climate change campaigns, with a deep desire to save the planet. Representatives of faith organisations and campaign groups told this Religion Media Centre election briefing that they saw signs of hope in several of the parties' manifestos. While each manifesto has different pledges on the date by which net zero may be achieved, and different approaches to fossil fuel excavation, they all have many ambitious commitments to make faster progress on renewable energy sources, with windfarms and solar energy providing the UK’s electricity supply within five years. The briefing also heard a plea for the next government to prioritise an end to the dumping of raw sewage into rivers and the sea. Chaired by Ruth Peacock, our panel was: Steven Croft, The Bishop of Oxford Dr Timothy Howles, Associate Director, Laudato Si' Research Institute Amandeep Kaur Mann, founder and director of Eco Sikh UK Jamie Williams, Senior Policy Advisor with Islamic Relief Worldwide Oliver Pearce, Chief of Policy at Christian Aid Mahmooda Qureshi, interfaith campaigner from the Midlands For further information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

The cost of living is a top election issue, yet the increasing wealth divide and extent of poverty have not really figured in election debates. In this Religion Media Centre briefing, Theos Think Tank pointed to data that indicated the majority of Christians are concerned about the growing wealth divide and want income inequality addressed. And 88 per cent of Christians are dismayed at the cost of living crisis. Many speakers agreed that poverty has not been given the emphasis it deserves in this election campaign, a feeling particularly strong among Christian charities which described "deep poverty" as people cannot find enough support to even afford the essentials. There were discussions about taxation, around how it has been portrayed in the campaign as an evil to be guarded against, rather than a passport for the common good. And there was some blue-sky thinking, as people said the current model of state support with charities picking up the pieces showed the system has failed and there was a need for a root-and-branch approach to social inequality in the future. Chaired by Mick Ord, our speakers were: Paul Morrison, Joint Public Issues Team, representing several free churches Phil Callaghan, Trussell Trust Network Church Engagement Manager North West Gareth McNab, Christians against Poverty director of external affairs Hannah Fremont-Brown, anti-poverty movement Mudaser Ali from the Muslim Charities Forum Stephen Bediako, social entrepreneur Bishop Mike Royal, Gen Sec of Churches Together in England, on tax as a blessing Josh Nicholson, senior researcher at the Centre for Social Justice Bartek Staniszewski, senior research fellow at Bright Blue think tank George Lapshynov, researcher at Theos Think Tank For more information on Religion Media Centre briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

Immigration is among the top four concerns driving voters at the general election, and their religious identity impacts how they regard the issue, according to speakers at a Religion Media Centre briefing. Polling analysed by the Theos think tank has found that the British public is not overly positive about asylum seekers, but non-practising Anglicans have the coldest approach to the issue, a response which was described as “deeply depressing” in the briefing. Speakers pointed out that asylum seekers form just five per cent of the total net migration, yet all the focus is on them. The briefing discussed the Rwanda scheme and ways to tackle gangs bringing in migrants on boats across the Channel; the need to control the flow of migration to give public confidence and the faith imperative to treat people with dignity and love your neighbour. The speakers included: Zara Mohammed, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain; Liam Allmark, Jesuit Refugee Service; Krish Kandiah, founder of the Sanctuary Foundation; Paul Bickley, head of political engagement at Theos Think Tank; and Sebastian Milbank, executive editor of The Critic. This is one of a series of briefings organised by the Religion Media Centre on how religion is intertwined with the public debate on issues in the General Election 2024.

A range of experts from across the education and faith spectrum joined this Religion Media Centre election briefing, reviewing the various parties’ manifestos on education. It’s a topic not regarded as a key election priority issue by voters, who instead tend to focus on the economy, the NHS and immigration. But religion is long associated with education in Britain, with a third of all schools having a faith foundation. Concerns were expressed on a shortage of teachers, contraction of arts subjects at universities which affects departments of Theology and Religious Studies, and the continuing campaign to remove a 50 per cent cap on faith school admissions, a move frozen in parliament because the election was called. The proposed 20 per cent VAT hike on private school fees is causing real anxiety among independent schools, especially the smaller ones affiliated with minority British religions with lower fees, less affluent parents and determination to choose a faith school for their child. The briefing heard an appeal for any future Labour government to provide extra capacity in the state system before bringing in the tax change. Speakers included: -Rev Steve Chalke, founder of Oasis Trust -Rudi Eliott Lockhart, Chief Executive Officer at the Independent Schools Association -Raisel Freedman, assistant director of the Partnership for Jewish Schools -Prof John Lydon and Dr Caroline Heely from the Catholic Union -Ashfaque Chowdhury, chair Association of Muslim Schools -Dr Lois Lee and Dr Tim Hutchings, on university funding and the study of religion -Deborah Weston, from NATRE, on RE in schools -Paul Bickley, head of political engagement at Theos Think Tank Future briefings will look at how religion impacts the election issues of immigration, poverty and climate change.

How will people from the religious traditions in the UK affect the vote in the General Election on 4 July? The majority of the UK population is affiliated to a religion - 63 per cent in England and Wales, 49 per cent in Scotland and 83 per cent in Northern Ireland. And in this Religion Media Centre briefing, faith representatives explained the issues for each group which will sway the vote, in addition to the usual election battlegrounds of the economy, the NHS and immigration. This time a foreign policy issue - response to the war in Gaza - supersedes others for many Muslims. Antisemitism is a key issue for Jewish voters. Immigration and wealth tax are issues for some Hindu voters. And for Christians, it’s around social issues such as asylum seekers, poverty and support for families. The briefing heard from researchers at the think tank Theos which has analysed voting data to discover the influence of religion on engagement, ideology and voting trends. One of its findings is that if Nigel Farage wants to make a pitch for a religious vote for his right-wing organisation Reform, then he should pitch to non-practising nostalgic Anglicans. Rosie Dawson hosted the briefing with guests: -Paul Bickley, head of political engagement at Theos Think Tank -George Lapshynov, political researcher at Theos Think Tank -Sophie Cartwright, Jesuit Refugee service -Catherine Pepinster, Catholic commentator -Abubakr Nanabawa, national coordinator for the Muslim Vote campaign -Prof Adeela Shafi, founder of the Bristol Muslim Strategic Leadership Group -Miqdaad Versi, director for media monitoring at the Muslim Council of Britain -Jagdev Virdee, Editor British Sikh Report -Daniel Sugarman, Director of Public Affairs for the Board of Deputies -Dr Subir Sinha, director of the SOAS South Asia Institute For more information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…

1 RMC Briefing: "Religion Counts" - Theos report into religion and voting patterns in elections 52:51
52:51 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요52:51
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The Theos Think Tank has analysed data from the British Election Survey on the correlation between religion and election voting. It indicates that religiously affiliated voters are more likely to vote on polling day than non-religious voters. Anglicans are the group most likely to vote. Overall they tend to vote Conservative, but those who attend church regularly are more likely to vote Labour. Catholics are floating voters, with their traditional support for Labour swinging to the Tories in 2019-2020, a trend that is now reversing. There is no clear party preference among other Christian denominations. Muslims tend to vote Labour - though this may have taken a knock because of the party’s stance on the Gaza conflict. And non-religious Britons vote more consistently for Labour. The reports are on the Theos' website: https://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/religion-counts-2024 Rosie Dawson hosted this briefing with report authors: Paul Bickley, Theos head of political engagement; George Lapshynov, Theos political researcher; and Dr Yinxuan Huang, Bible Society. And commentators: Dr Siobhan McAndrew, Senior Lecturer, Politics, Philosophy and Economics, University of Sheffield; Zara Mohammed, Secretary-General Muslim Council of Britain; and Keith Kahn Harris, associate fellow of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and a lecturer at Leo Baeck College.

1 RMC Briefing: United Methodist Church votes for same-sex equality but still divided 48:18
48:18 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요48:18
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요The decision by the United Methodist Church to row back on anti-gay legislation dating back 50 years came after overwhelming votes in favour at the general conference in Charlotte. But the picture that paints of a “super liberal, progressive” church with all traditionalists having left, is not accurate, according to researchers who have tested the opinions of clergy and congregations. Drs Joseph Roso and David Eagle from Duke University were among the panellists at our Religion Media Centre briefing and explained their research, conducted in North Carolina in 2021. They found both clergy and congregations of those that remain are divided - but determined to stay. This leaves ministers who have to bridge the divide and keep everyone together, suffering high levels of stress with half more likely to report symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, and others experiencing burnout or a desire to leave. Their most recent research indicates the situation has calmed down and clergy are finding ways to navigate the terrain. The briefing also discussed the decision to give each global region the power to make decisions according to their culture, a 40 per cent budget cut after disaffiliation and Covid, the vote in favour of moving to full communion with the Episcopalian church, and the view of a British delegate that the votes marked a moment of rebirth for the United Methodist Church. Ruth Peacock hosted this briefing with guests: -Heather Hahn, United Methodist News, assistant news editor -Steven Adair, Director of Local Church Services, United Methodist Communications -Rev Lindsey Baynham Freeman, lead of the Virginia delegation and chair of the Ordained Ministry Legislative -Dr Joseph Roso, and Dr David Eagle, Duke University -Rev Jennifer Smith, superintendent minister, Wesley's Chapel, London -Bishop Mande Muyombo, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo For more information on RMC briefings: info@religionmediacentre.org.uk Links Website: https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/ X: https://twitter.com/RelMedCentre/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/religion-media-centre/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCthZf6RVTqJki6oTQTB6qmw Contact Information info@religionmediacentre.org.uk (+44) 0203 970 0709…
