In this final Quantum of the year we look at the 10 ‘C’s of 2021 – Countries, Climate Change, Cities, Comfort, China, Catastrophism, Cancel Culture, Children, Crying and Covid. We use my top ten Spotify songs for 2021. To each of these ten we add a verse of Scripture…and we end with my Christian song of the year – a reminder that the Church should now sing of its coming King…
