Welcome to the inaugural episode of our podcast, Faith and Honor. In this podcast we have regular conversations on Anglican history, doctrine, and values with noted scholars, professors and experts — and sometimes just among ourselves.
In this episode we look at the surprising phenomenon of the appeal of traditional or ‘non-modern’ things to the youth of today, across all levels of society. From the uptick of millenials and young families in traditional Anglican churches to the increase of attendance among traditional Roman Catholics, to many other instances — we discuss the nature and sources of this fascinating phenomenon, and connect it with the discontent with Modernity which is engendered by today’s secular culture.
