  • Fr Jamie Franklin: From independent evangelical to catholic Anglican

    Fr Jamie Franklin: From independent evangelical to catholic Anglican
    May 15 2025
    As priest-in-charge at Holy Trinity in Winchester, an Anglo-Catholic neo-Gothic church built in the mid-19th century, Jamie Franklin is a far cry from the charismatic Christian upbringing he experienced as a child in Essex influenced by the Toronto Blessings. His parents divorced when he was young and although he admits his childhood made him receptive to The Gospel it wasn't until he reached university and read The Bible that he really began to take it seriously. Later, a profoundly spiritual experience in church drew him to the Anglican Catholic tradition which he has found a home in ever since. Franklin says he has always felt a drawn towards art and literature believing, one day, he would be a writer. He currently hosts Irreverend and the Holy CofE podcast and is author of the new book The Great Return which explores the need for a return to traditional Christian values in Western society. In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity editor Sam Hailes. about the effect his early charismatic Christian childhood had, his love of music, the unique character of English Anglican Catholicism, assisted dying and how AI helps him in his role as a priest.

  • Ray Comfort - why the fear of God is healthy

    Ray Comfort - why the fear of God is healthy
    May 8 2025
    Ray Comfort is a New Zealand-born Christian evangelist and author but is perhaps best known for his street preaching and bold public debates on atheism and Christianity. Though his parents called themselves Methodists he says he was not explicitly brought up as a Christian only later becoming born again. Comfort went on to start Living Waters Publications and co-hosts the evangelism television show Way of the Master with actor Kirk Cameron. Now he is known for his public square biblical evangelism on YouTube where he engages people in the street challenging them on issues of sin and the fear of God. He has written over 80 books, including God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life and The Evidence Bible. He has also designed many Gospel tracts, some of which resemble paper money like dollar bills. In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes about why he doesn't start evangelistic conversations with the phrase 'God loves you' and how the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
