The Free Radicals podcast will tell the story of Münster in a way that you might not have heard before. The way the story is often told, a tale of religious fervour, abuse of power, sexual indulgence, and violence, that if it was a Hollywood movie you wouldn’t think it was realistic. Even though the events of this story are almost 500 years old, they continue to be relevant. It is a story that the Mennonite chuch is still recovering from. It is used as a cautionary tale by both sides of the church history debate; depending on how you tell it, it’s either proof that bad things happen when good Christians pick up the sword, or it’s proof that bad things happen when they don’t.
