Working Class Priests, Anointing & Grantchester

This week we will be talking about some issues from the news items, we discuss why working class people find selection for the priesthood difficult, and a proposed national strategy for attracting people from working backgrounds to ministry.

We discuss the nature of anointing and what it means.

Finally, we talk about the "drama" Grantchester and the subtle messaging within it.

The second section starts around 26 min. The TV show part starts at 47 min.
