In a conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury's former chaplain, we discuss if there is a Gen-z revival in religion, spirituality, and church attendance in the West.
Revd. Isabelle Hamley is the Princpal of Ridley Hall, a theological college in Cambridge
We explore historical narratives, specifically how figures like Edward Gibbon may have sought to diminish the Catholic Church's influence by portraying a period of "darkness" after antiquity. The discussion touches upon the progression of thought from ancient philosophers to the Enlightenment, and the potential evolution of Protestantism into atheism. It offers a fascinating look into the interplay of history, philosophy, and Christianity, especially concerning church history and the historical 'dark age'.
