Bad biology, Entering into the Easter Story & The Miners Strike

This week we discuss the way in which History has been changed in relation to Bishop Wilberforce, as he is portrayed as an anti-science fundamentalist who hated evolution. While he was in fact a scientist who favoured the scientific theory of the time, based on a different type of evolution. Why are we taught things in school which are false?

We talk about the first part of our Lent course and how we enter into stories to build our identity and how performing a story together helps us remember.

Finally we discuss the Channel 4 documentary on the miners strike of 1984 and the impact this had on communities and our nation.
