Rhys speaks with returning guest Fr Thomas Plant to discuss his new book King Oswald’s Heirs: Meditations on the Catechism of the English Church. 
The book re-presents the Catechism of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer through the lens of the English saints and the Church's spiritual inheritance. In this episode they discuss some of the key themes of the book: re-enchantment, modernity, and the particular as the vehicle to the universal.

Fidelium is a lay-led network of young adults in London which aims "to foster connection, confidence, and belonging among those seeking a faithful and rooted life in the Church." This vibrant group is an encouraging sign of life and hope for the catholic movement in the Church of England. 
We spoke with Charlotte, director of Fidelium, about what they do, why young people are drawn to Anglo-Catholicism, the role of social media in reaching young people (no AI posters!), the importance of laity in the life of the church, and more.

Last summer, theologian Matthew Barrett wrote a widely-read article explaining his decision to leave the Baptist tradition for Anglicanism. Rhys and Joel speak to him about this journey, how it has affected the systematic theology he is writing, why classical theology and the beatific vision matter, and more.
Dr. Barrett is Research Professor of Christian Theology at Trinity Anglican Seminary in the US. He is also theologian-in-residence for Anselm House at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Credo Magazine, host of the Credo podcast, and Director of the Center for Classical Theology. He is the co-director of Aquinas KC.
On 24-25 April, Dr. Barrett is hosting the Credo Conference on the Beatific Vision in Washington, DC. Do join if you are able!

In this episode, the team speaks with Rev'd Dan Kim about ChristianStory, a project that aims to bring the history and theology of Christianity to life with deeply researched and beautifully animated videos. Think BibleProject, but with history and theology! Ecumenical in its ethos, it is a gift to the church catholic and a fantastic resource for people in parish ministry, working with youth, or as a general tool for catechesis and discipleship.

Fr Calum and Joel talk with returning guest Fr Thomas Plant about Darwell Stone’s case for mere Catholicity. Fr Thomas has recently written an introduction to a new (and handsome) edition of Stone's concise systematic theology, Christian Dogma: Outlines of Orthodox Anglican Theology. 
Stone was Principal of Pusey House, Oxford from 1909 to 1934. Fr Thomas recently gave a talk on Stone at a conference at Pusey House on the 20th-century principals of the house.
