God seems entirely willing to work with imperfect people, cultures, and institutions.

This episode follows on from our last one, exploring issues of human government and nation-states.

When Christ wanted to typify the sort of spiritual illness to which self-righteous religious people are susceptible, he contrasted a pharisee with agent of the state (tax collector).

Sorry for some audio quality being lower than usual this week.
