Rev Michael Coren

Viewpoint with Michael Coren: Anti-Semitism has never quite left ‘I am acutely aware that, whether I am a Christian priest or not, there are still people who detest me simply for my heritage’

Please delete this. Thanks.

Like the Bible?

Just booked our flight and hotel for New York in late March. It's the opening of Giant on Broadway. The play, cast, writer won countless awards in London. John Lithgow continues as Roald Dahl but the actor who plays me is new. Never had this on my list of predictions!

Opinion: I’ve been a priest for seven years. How do I do this job when the world looks so grim? It’s because, and not in spite of this, that the church and its people have more relevance and significance than ever

Michael Coren: I’m celebrating my first birthday, but not how you may think "I always comforted myself that drink was a wonderful servant but a terrible master and that I would always be the one in charge. But that relationship began to flip,

This is causing such pain and division. I regard myself as an orthodox Christian, even quite theologically conservative, but I've seen so much authentic Christian love, sacrifice, and commitment in same-sex unions. I pray to God that the Church of England can move forward.

I'll be presiding and preaching today at St. Luke's, Burlington at 8.15 and 10am - all are welcome.

Reading numerous comments from Christians about Philip Yancey and far too many seem to be almost enjoying the situation and rejoicing in judgement. They'll deny this of course but not the first time I've seen such behaviour.

In this week's Notebook, @revmichaelcoren.bsky.social ✍️ on the gift of grandparenting, the expectation of Advent, the dedication of care workers, and fast news

Reading about Waterloo and discover that Prussian leader Field Marshal von Blücher believed he'd been impregnated by a French infantrymen and was about to give birth to an elephant. I wonder if it was African or Indian?

Santa was kind to me. But I can't find the question "Why are we so bloody awful?"

Michael Coren: A lesson from 1914: Living as if every day is Christmas Every day is Christmas. It could be. No trees, gifts, or family dinners but a world distended with joy, soaked in grace, where we regard everyone we see as precious

Opinion: The only thing that will save Christianity is Christianity: humility, gentleness, mercy and forgiveness Christmas is more than just a cultural expression. But Christian nationalists on the one side and the Christian left on the other have sapped genuine spiritual meaning of the faith

Haha. Oh dear. I'm a bit of a Lewis nerd, and and was close to Walter Hooper, but have never found the source of the quote. But it's generally accepted. One of life's mysteries! Have a wonderful Christmas.

Not sure there is one. Sometimes happens with quotations.

How to live by true Christmas values every day Within every other person, whoever and whatever they are, is the reflection of God

My new book arrived today! Published in January.
www.amazon.ca/Diary-Low-Bo...

My son and I both have books published next year. His is an academic work about free will - he's a philosophy professor - and mine a diary of a year as a priest. Very different and his much more profound. It's also my 19th and his first. So, so proud of him.

Anti-Semitism still lurks in the shadows of Christianity It doesn’t matter, apparently, that Jesus and Paul were Jews and often speaking specifically to a Jewish audience.

Celebrity vicars do a great job. But if we think it’s about us, we’ve lost the plot Following The Spectator's critique of "funky vicars", Michael Coren pushes back, defending his fellow clergy in the public eye and questioning a culture that he says is quicker to sneer than to suppor...

God is good.

York. Here in Clifford's Tower in 1190 there was a pogrom. In 2024 I was in Lincoln, where in 1225 more innocent Jewish people were killed. Then there's London, Colchester, Norwich, etc. I don't single out my homeland. Other Christian nations did the same and worse ....

I'm preaching tomorrow and my voice has gone - not totally but it's pretty rough. Is this God giving an opinion?
