Has the Church of England changed — and if so, what does that mean for Britain?

In this candid and quietly provocative conversation, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss explains why she believes the Church of England has drifted away from its traditional role and into modern political and cultural debates in a way that risks weakening its moral authority and public trust.

This isn’t an attack on faith.

It’s a question about institutions.

Liz Truss reflects on how national institutions evolve, how cultural pressure reshapes them over time, and why she thinks the Church now speaks more like a political actor than a spiritual one. She argues that when institutions try to mirror social trends too closely, they risk losing the very identity that once made them meaningful.

Andrew challenges her on what exactly has changed, and whether this is simply the Church adapting to modern society. Truss responds by describing a shift in language, priorities, and public messaging — away from doctrine and spiritual leadership, and toward commentary on social and political issues.

They explore:

Whether the Church of England has become politicised

How cultural expectations influence religious institutions

Why neutrality is becoming harder for public institutions to maintain

Whether the Church’s role in public life is changing permanently

And what this shift means for trust, tradition, and national identity

Liz also reflects on how institutions lose legitimacy not through sudden collapse, but through gradual repositioning — small changes that feel sensible in the moment but transform meaning over time.

You don’t have to share her concerns to find this fascinating.

Because this conversation isn’t just about religion — it’s about how institutions balance tradition and relevance, how cultural pressure reshapes authority, and why some people feel that familiar pillars of society no longer feel familiar at all.

This clip captures a rare moment: a former Prime Minister stepping outside party politics to talk about cultural change, institutional trust, and what holds a society together.
