Why is a Christian church hosting a far-right party? Why is a Christian church hosting a far-right partyโ€™s conference? The Emmanuel Centre, part of Emmanuel Church in Westminster, is today the venue for a major event run by Advance UK. The Centre hasโ€ฆ

If Christians were better able to accept "both and" arguments rather than "either or" we would be far better at reaching people who are not yet Christians

โ€˜I'm more worried about cohesion across our country than I've been for many yearsโ€™: PM addresses church leaders - Premier Christian News | Headlines, Breaking News, Comment & Analysis Prime Minister Keir Starmer tells church leaders heโ€™s more worried about national cohesion than ever before, urging unity during Interfaith Week.

Prime Minister commits to working with faith groups on social cohesion. He tells a reception at Number Ten that he's more worried about cohesion than he has been for many years, and recognises that interfaith work has been 'severely tested'

The three questions to ask if a Christian Nationalist talks about Sharia Law:

Do you believe that all moral truth comes from God?

Do you believe that religious principles should influence our laws?

Do you believe in traditional family structures including marriage and gender roles?

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

And, of course, many of the "fans" left before the end, instead of applauding their team

The Ryder Cup reveals so much about the American psyche, and explains so much

Their players struggle to play as a team and often think they are better than they are

Their fans are rude, obnoxious and ignorant, and lack basic etiquette

There are no examples in any of the four Gospels of where Jesus gave an alter call.

Jesus said, "Follow me," because he was going to model a new way of living!

He was not offering a hell avoidance scheme but a full life plan!

Dickie Bird, Danny Thompson and Ray Simpson all passed away this week.

It's a weird trinity that combines my interests in:

Cricket
Folk Music
Celtic Christianity

Maybe we should spend less energy on predicting the "Rapture" (which Jesus said even he didn't know the date of)

And more time extending the Kingdom of God, especially among the poor?

I find it very telling that when Christian Nationalists try to justify their actions, they selectively quote the Old Testament or Paul, but hardly ever quote the Gospels..

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I suspect what we do in the bedroom is more important to Christians than God.

I think God is more interested in justice for the poor

God is only interested in what we do in the bedroom, when what we do in the bedroom is abusive, coercive, and exploitative

Funny. Right wing Christians, who for years have been telling liberal/progressive churches to stick to the Gospel, not cultural issues

Are now asking why churches weren't talking enough about Charlie Kirk!

It's increasingly obvious that Reform are not an anti-establisment party, but the establishment wearing a different hat (or rosette)
