Archbishop Cranmer

This week's Spotify Sunday playlist has been selected by Archbishop Cranmer, whose blog on religion and politics is no doubt familiar to many readers of this website. We're grateful to him for contributing to the Spectator Arts Blog. There is nothing which invigorates His Grace’s ashes more than the old battles of Church and State; the interminable clash of the sacred with the profane; the divine disapproval of all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil. And so his mind and spirit (and blog) are perpetually preoccupied with that place where religion meets politics and politics becomes secular religion. Or, as Sir Humphrey might say, where the bishop’s religio-political agendas fuse with the politician’s politico-religious objectives.
