Defending Historic Freedoms in Scotland
Tim Dieppe is Ezra Institute Fellow for Public Policy and Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern. He joins us to discuss the recent landmark victory for freedom of the church in Scotland and the historic relationship of church and state.

Ezra Institute Fellow Jonathan Burnside introduces the obvious political implications of the Bible.
