Trump and evangelicals - round two
Let's be praying for these key US elections, and for Christians to use their votes wisely and faithfully

Christmas is important to our communities - it brings us together
Christmas is full of stories. Dickens' Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, the Home Alone films, the many legends of Father Christmas. But the Christmas story is a different kind of tale altogether.

The tension and hope of Advent
How do we reconcile the fact of Jesus' birth and the promise of restoration, with the brokenness all around us?
-
Let's pray for our nation's leaders
Ceremony and bizarre ritual aside, this is an important moment in the parliamentary calendar to stridently pray for our nation, our government, our parliament, our democracy, our monarch, our leaders.

A concrete example of the failure of long-term planning
Jesus clarifies that everyone is our neighbour, including those who are not yet alive and who will live with the consequences of our actions and inactions.

How can Christians respond to the crisis in the NHS?
A perfect storm is battering the NHS. How can Christians respond to this situation?

How are you feeling as Christmas approaches?
This year many people will not be focused on the glitter and magic of the Christmas season, instead they will be worrying about how they are going to buy presents for their children, how they will be able to afford to cook Christmas dinner, and how they will heat their homes.

The good news about the census
Let's be reassured from this outpouring of interest, that people are still fascinated by the role of faith in people's lives and in society more broadly, even where they don't share or understand it.

We need a compassionate response to those genuinely seeking asylum on our shores
I don't believe in a migration free-for-all. There need to be appropriate controls, but I can't support an asylum policy that is driven by a divisive assumption that refugees are aliens seeking to invade our shores.
