In this special interview, CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with pastor, Old Testament scholar and author Benjamin Giffone about his new book A House Divided: Technology, Worship, and Healing the Church After COVID. Topics discussed:

- The downsides of online worship and why church leaders were wrong to embrace it so uncritically.

- Elitism in the church hierarchy which contributed to "laptop class" style response.

- A better way to approach the question of experts and expertise than simple capitulation.

- Hope for the future of the church and moving beyond the events of five years ago.

That and much more as ever. Enjoy!
