Dear friends It’s increasingly common these days to hear scholars and intellectuals acknowledge the benefits and even the necessity of the values of Christianity for our culture—people like Tom Holland, Louise Perry and Jordan Peterson. But it’s interesting how these kinds of commentators still resist the claims of Christianity itself for their own lives. And quite often, what they say they’re rejecting is ‘organized religion’.  Have you had friends say something like that to you? “Look I’m not against spirituality, and I think Jesus was a really impressive man, but of course I don’t want anything to do with organized religion.”  What is it about ‘organized religion’ that is so odious to people? And would they be happier with religion if it was disorganized?  That’s our topic for this week. Hope you find it useful.  Your brother Tony This is a public episode.
