Launching on Pentecost Sunday, Beyond the Happy Clappy is the new podcast about the past, present and future of charismatic renewal. Featuring a series of interviews with leading figures from the renewal that changed the UK church so profoundly from the 1960s onwards, Beyond the Happy Clappy will ask what lessons that recent history has for the life and mission of the church today. We’ll celebrate what was good, and also reflect on the problems and failures along the way.
