It is time for the Church of England to stand up, speak up and give a lead on this issue.

BBC bias and the case of Roe v Wade
The excellent Amol Rajan on Radio 4's Today programme talked – twice – of "pro-life" campaigners. All well and good, you might think. Except apparently not.

-
What on earth is going on with the police?
As Christians we should be hugely concerned about the continuing erosion of the right to free speech – and indeed to think freely!
