Jack Palmer-White is Senior Director at the Good Faith Partnership, an organisation that seeks to bridge some of the gaps between different sectors and, in so doing, find some innovative solutions for some of society’s more difficult problems.

Before this, Jack was the Anglican Communion’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and senior advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury on social and public affairs.

With over a decade of experience of working with charities, faith-based organisations, and social movements to help bring about change at the local, national and global level – Jack talks with Belle and Justin about the nature of politics and, untimely, how we can re-enchant what it means to love our neighbour.

About this episode

In this, the first instalment of GodPod’ Visionaries series, Graham Tomlin and Jane Williams delve into the profound impact of Søren Kierkegaard, the enigmatic Danish philosopher whose ideas continue to resonate in today's world. 

Join us as we explore Kierkegaard's critique of Christendom (or ‘cultural Christianity’), his emphasis on individual authenticity, and his challenge to the herd mentality. With insights from Dr. Stephen Backhouse, an expert on Kierkegaard, we uncover how this 19th-century thinker shaped modern existentialism and continues to influence contemporary discussions on faith, individuality, and societal norms. 

Tune in to discover why Kierkegaard's legacy is, perhaps, more relevant than ever
