The Church of England, after nearly 500 years, has finally appointed its first woman Archbishop, Dame Sarah Molali. While the secular world views this as simply "catching up," her predecessor's role in covering up child abuse demands serious institutional accountability. Molali's background as a Chief Nursing Officer and her progressive views—including support for LGBTQIA+ rights and denouncing hatred—offer a fragile promise for genuine change. However, her stance against death with dignity laws raises questions about whether her appointment is a sincere shift towards modern ethics or merely a cynical attempt at symbolic reform to rebuild shattered public trust. The hosts discuss the pressure for concrete action to prove this isn't just a PR stunt.

WHAT IS THE NON-PROPHETS?
The Non-Prophets is a internet show airing at 06:00pm Central time Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Where we navigate through current events, providing a secular viewpoint that adds depth to the unfolding narrative.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
