Can the Church give a meaningful answer to the spiritual questions of the digital age?

Violence is being normalised in the name of anti-violence

How the West was lost - and how it can be recovered
After years of economic uncertainty, a seemingly endless war on terror and moral decline, the West is in crisis. But the Church has a crucial role to play in its resurrection.
Mission agencies need to adapt to survive into the future
If British mission agencies are to remain relevant in the future, they will need to take their place within a growing multi-national mission movement which looks very different to the situation in which they were founded and developed.
Farewell to the Frank Sinatra Parliament
Parliament prorogued, DUP intransigence, Labour infighting, Scottish Nationalist opportunism. Truly, this has been a House of Commons where everyone sought to 'do it their way' and we, the long-suffering British people, have paid the price.
