About this listen
Send us Fan Mail
This week Bread and Rosaries takes a trip to Scotland to chat with student minister and PhD candidate, William Gibson, about Red Clydeside: the strikes, rent protests, anti-war organising, and radical politics of Glasgow in the early twentieth century. We also look at the Church of Scotland’s uneasy relationship with working-class struggle, social reconstruction, and capitalism itself, including why so much of the church’s witness seemed to drift away from the politics of justice it once claimed to care about. Along the way, Adam reflects on the life and death of anarchist YPJ volunteer, Anna Campbell, and William introduces us to socialist and peace activist Helen Crawfurd for Saint of the Week.
