The Aesthetics of Original Sin: How the Church's Liturgy Recovers the Meaning of Creation
Irreverend: Faith and Current AffairsShow Notes
Why do so many churches feel spiritually thin, aesthetically bland, and disconnected from the deep longings of modern people? In this lecture, the Rev’d Dr Jamie Franklin argues that the crisis of the modern West is not merely theological or moral but rather aesthetic in nature. Drawing on Alexander Schmemann, David Bentley Hart, Iain McGilchrist, St Anselm, and the Christian tradition, he explores a striking idea: that Original Sin was, at its heart, a refusal to receive creation as a gift a...

Live from the University of Greenwich: Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin and Rev. Daniel French on The God Solution. For a generation the Church felt like a lost cause under new atheism and The God Delusion. Now the mood has shifted. People step toward the vicar. Interest in real Christianity is rising. But can the Church meet the moment? Jamie lays out the thesis of his book The Great Return: Western values — human dignity, equality, liberty, the intellectual conditions for science — are Christian cap...
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, the Rev'd. Dr. Jamie Franklin covers four major stories. First: twenty years after The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins is still misunderstanding classical theism. Jamie explains necessary vs contingent being, why “a universe from nothing” isn’t nothing, and why new atheism has become largely irrelevant. Second: the failed lethal injection of Krista Pike in Tennessee after 30 years on death row. Church leaders appeal for mercy. Jamie suppo...
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Jamie, Tom and Daniel take on three stories that reveal how far parts of the Church have drifted from historic Christianity. First: a viral sermon by Episcopal priest Flourish Klink claiming God is non-binary, Mary “assigned” Jesus male at birth, and the risen Christ “transitioned.” The clip has millions of views. The three vicars walk through the argument and ask what happens when the pulpit becomes a webcam for untested ideology. Seco...
Jamie Franklin, Tom Pelham and Daniel French on a week the Church of England and the culture both told on themselves. On the anniversary of 9/11, the Archbishop of Canterbury gave an interfaith award to a cleric who praised Osama bin Laden as a Muslim warrior standing next to his wife in a niqab. Lambeth put the photo out then withdrew the honour after a Google search anyone could have done. The hosts say the real scandal is a church that would rather curry the world’s favour than speak of Ch...
In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin reacts to two major developments. First: a narrow but historic defeat for the assisted dying bill in the Commons. Jamie gives thanks to God, dismantles the myth of the “inevitable march of liberal progressivism,” and argues that only a restoration of Christian faith can stop this returning. He also critiques the weak responses from Church of England bishops who failed to make a distinctively Christian case. Secon...
