Do Prime Ministers do God? In conversation with Mark Vickers

Do Prime Ministers do God? In conversation with Mark Vickers

Nick Spencer speaks to Mark Vickers. 13/12/2022

The UK has a religious Prime Minister – yet again! Rishi Sunak is the first Hindu to occupy the role, but there have been plenty more of the faithful before him – even in the more secular atmosphere of the 20th century. Who did God most? Who least? Who was most sincere? And for whom did the divine actually make a difference?

In this episode, Nick Spencer talks to Mark Vickers about his book God In Number 10.
