Revd Canon Fr Phil Harris - The Cost of Courage: A Religious Leader’s Battle in a Secular Age

In this episode of Hearts of Oak, Reverend Canon Father Phil Harris shares his journey in ministry, his concerns about shifts in the Church of England, and the controversy following his outspoken views on Islam and British identity. Dismissed from his leadership role due to public backlash, he continues to lead services in a local venue, supported by his community. Harris emphasizes the challenges faced by religious leaders in today's society and his commitment to upholding traditional Christian values while seeking a permanent space for worship through crowdfunding efforts.
