Why the Kate Bottley Article Touched a Nerve in the Church

A Telegraph profile of Rev Kate Bottley — and the Spectator’s response — reveal a much deeper crisis inside the Church of England. In this video, Rev Dan digs beneath the headlines to examine why so many Christians feel the Church has lost its centre, and what Scripture calls us to recover in this moment. If this helps you, do like the video, subscribe, and leave your thoughts below — it genuinely helps this reach more people who are trying to make sense of what’s happening in the Church right now.
