Balancing religious sensitivity and curriculum

Church of England revs Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin with a difference sit down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time:

• Assisted Suicide FAILS in Scottish Parliament.
• Sarah Mullally pilgrimage rescheduled due to backlash against her absence for critical Lord's vote on late-term abortion.
• Government guidance to schools suggests pupils' drawings could be offensive to Muslim children.
• Is it far-right to believe that English is an ethnicity?
• And how to choose a church for a spiritual seeker.
