For years, I have written in the perspective of an CofE Anglo-Catholic within the Church of England. i have prayed the Rosary, prayed the Angelus etc. Today, I am sharing that I have stopped looking for that anchor within what I believe to be a fast “dying trunk” of the Read more
The Christian faith declares that “in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17), and modern physics unwittingly testifies to this truth. Matter is far stranger than it appears, with atoms mostly empty space and subatomic particles held together by forces calibrated with breathtaking precision. Science can describe this fine-tuning but cannot explain why it holds. Scripture can: the universe coheres because Christ sustains it by the word of his power.
When Jesus invited people to “come and see,” He offered no programme, no strategy document, and no measurable outcomes beyond the transformation of human hearts. In three simple words, Christ extended an invitation that has echoed through twenty centuries of Christian witness. Perhaps the modern Church, with all its well-intentioned structures and initiatives, needs to recover something of this radical simplicity. What might it mean for our congregations to strip back the layers of institutional complexity and simply invite people to encounter the living Christ, just as Andrew and John did on that first extraordinary afternoon?
It’s Not Just Me: The Truth About the Sin That Dwells Within Every Christian who strives for holiness eventually runs headlong into the brick wall of Romans 7. We know what is right, we sincerely desire to do it, and yet, we often find ourselves failing, committing the very sin Read more
When a post-exilic prophet spoke of God’s name being great “from the rising of the sun to its setting,” he uttered words that must have seemed impossible to his struggling community in Jerusalem. Yet today, young people in Britain, America and Europe are returning to churches their parents abandoned, whilst Iranian, Syrian and other Arab Muslims risk everything to worship Jesus in secret house churches across the Middle East. Malachi’s ancient prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in ways that challenge our assumptions about where faith flourishes and who the missionaries really are. This isn’t just history or theology – it’s the story of what God is doing right now, in the most unexpected places, through the most unlikely people.
My dear friends in Christ, this is a question that goes to the very root of our comfort and peace as Christians: If I confess my sins directly to God, am I truly forgiven? The answer is a resounding, joyful Yes! This wonderful truth is a central pillar of our Read more
It feels very much as we move into 2026 that the debates about parallel dimensions have finally moved out of late-night chatroom sessions straight into the boardroom (or at least over a coffee before a big meeting!) which, if we are honest, was probably not on our bingo cards. When we talk about dimensions we aren’t just talking about science fiction anymore; we’re talking about empirical reality. This shift has been driven by the sheer, staggering performance of the latest quantum processors, like Google’s Willow chip.
If there’s one skill every Christian is called to develop, it’s the ability to articulate why we believe what we believe. St. Peter put it simply and profoundly: “Always be prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; Read more
Overview: Brace yourselves, this is a long read… During my discernment process – a doubt was thrust in my mind (as have many in attempt to derail me – we know your ways Satan) – namely – why did God require animals to be killed as a sacrifice for sin Read more
It does seem that in the last year or so the landscape of AI-enabled Christian technology has shifted significantly from experimental early adoption to widespread integration into daily spiritual life and church operations. How should we as Christians approach this rising tide of technology, how do we manage the tension between studying to learn and simply prompting for answers?
