In this age of Twitter diatribes and angry exchanges, can Christians model something different?
In today's increasingly partisan, intolerant and censoring society, if Christians want to maintain our freedoms to disagree and criticize, to argue and debate, and to hold out Christ as a hope for our world, we need to learn to do it well. Otherwise we may lose these freedoms altogether.

How should Christians pray and act after the fall of Afghanistan?
We have a duty to press our government into treating with compassion those fleeing the resurgent Taliban regime.

It's time to re-frame the debate on mask wearing
It appears that the choice about whether to wear a piece of cloth on our faces has become the latest front in the culture war.
-
Politically partisan? No, but politically engaged? Yes
Church leaders should not be muted when it comes to public life. They should speak graciously, but they should speak.

Why should Christians vote on Thursday?

Why Christians should care about a European Super League
You may not think this is an area where you need to hold an opinion unless you are a big football fan, or that it's just too trivial for Christians to muster a view about. But the Super League exposes issues of corruption, concentration of power, community cohesion, aspiration and character-building for young people right down to the level of the local non-league or school club, writes Tim Farron MP.

Cultural Christianity is not the same as faith in Christ
We shouldn't want people to tick 'Christian' on the census if it merely points to cultural identity rather than a real faith in Christ, writes Tim Farron.

Is the Government wrong to close churches?
Lib Dem MP Tim Farron weighs in on whether churches should have been allowed to stay open during England's second national lockdown.

Why we should battle through the political jargon and continue to engage with politics
As our country and our world experiences huge challenges, our national discourse is crying out for an injection of sensible and prayerful engagement.

What is our attitude to those seeking safety on our shores?
A YouGov poll has found that almost half of the British people have little or no sympathy for the migrants crossing the Channel, and a similar number believe that we have no responsibility to help or protect them. But what should a Christian response look like?

Christians shouldn't just be another predictable lobby group
So many Christians contacted me about the Domestic Abuse Bill but not one of them spoke of their concern for the victims of domestic abuse.

The significance of statues
I'm not comfortable honouring those whose wealth and worth were tied up in the misery and humiliation of others. I'm also not comfortable with crowds of people taking matters into their own hands to take down those statues they're not comfortable with.

Trump is using the Bible as a defence but for Christians everywhere it is an offence
Where on earth do we start when faced with the image of Donald Trump awkwardly brandishing a Bible outside a church, after ordering the teargassing of peaceful demonstrators who stood in the way of his photo opportunity?
-
In times like these, we need to draw on reserves we didn't know we had
In these uncertain political times, with a new disease stalking the globe and anxiety levels on the rise, let's remember the hope which we profess and know that even amidst our disappointments, we are part of a Kingdom that will never end.
