The ARC conference in London saw thousands of conservative influencers and politicians networking with like-minded Christians. Is it further evidence that the 'surprising rebirth' is right wing? In part 2 of the show, Justin Brierley continues to explore the question of whether the new interest in Christianity is being co-opted for political purposes. Journalist Heather Tomlinson, writer Paul Kingsnorth and podcast host Elizabeth Oldfield all offer their perspective on whether the rebirth is right wing. Justin also profiles left-wing influencers embracing Christianity and hears from Rasool Berry, Krish Kandiah, Chris Watkin and NT Wright on how Christians should engage politics. Former far-right activist Theo Wilmot also shares his own story of 'Surprising Rebirth'.
