Astonishment as Blair to discuss ‘morality’ with the Archbishop of Canterbury

"Irony is dead", wrote one person on Twitter.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will be discussing faith and morality with high-profile politicians and authors in a new radio series – and it was one interviewee in particular that really got people talking.

Through a six-part BBC Radio 4 show called The Archbishop Interviews, Justin Welby will speak with guests including former prime minister Tony Blair, author Stephen King and psychologist Dr Susan Blackmore.

In each half-hour episode, Britain’s most senior clergyman is set to ask his guests about how they have navigated their personal and spiritual lives while maintaining a high public profile.

Welby

Mr Welby said he will “relish the opportunity to be the one asking the questions” and he hopes the podcast will encourage listeners to engage with people who have different outlooks to them.

The Archbishop Interviews, hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, will look to discuss “faith, morality and spirituality with six people who have made a significant contribution to public life” – including author Stephen King, lecturer Susan Blackmore and, as previously mentioned, Mr Blair.

“It’s such a privilege to be able to spend time interviewing fascinating people from different backgrounds for this series, and I relish the opportunity to be the one asking the questions rather than answering them.”

Reactions

Well, the idea of the man who literally took us to war in Iraq discussing mortality was not lost of many…

If anyone is equipped to discuss morality it's Tony Blair. I mean, who HASN'T embarked on an illegal, unjust war that killed thousands? We've all done it. https://t.co/w1Tw8Fxeiv

I guess they both have the mistaken belief that they are morally good in common, at least.

Imagine asking Tony Blair for his opinion on 'morality'.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
