‘A Vicar’s Life’: Is this really a picture of the UK church?

A few things will be changing on this blog over the next three months when I am on sabbatical.  I won’t be giving it up but some of the regular series  will be stopping.  I will be taking a break from Light Engaging Darkness, Quantum of Solas and the St Peters sermons/news.   These will all hopefully resume in July.   I will be continuing with the … Continue reading ‘A Vicar’s Life’: Is this really a picture of the UK church?

Now teaching Christian doctrine at a church school is ‘extremist’. Move over Monty Python.

A Christian group has been banned from a Church school because a few parents have complained that Christian teaching is extremist.  Premier Christianity asked me to write a response – you can get the original here – (some of the comments afterwards from people who profess to be Christian are quite chilling – not least the two professing Christians arguing that to ask for a … Continue reading Now teaching Christian doctrine at a church school is ‘extremist’.

The End of Christian Britain?

This is an article I wrote for Premier  which was published yesterday in response to the interfaith commissions report.  Obviously it is something that we will return to in Solas as it is our bread and butter! A two-year interfaith commission has come up with a report that is bound to cause a little bit of controversy. The 150-page report actually makes for fascinating reading and … Continue reading The End of Christian Britain?

Matthew Parris – An Atheist Homosexual with a Better Understanding of Christianity than many Church leaders!

This is an old  but highly relevant article from Matthew Parris – an atheist, homosexual who gets Christianity much better than some professing Christians!  I picked this up from the UK Apologetics FB page…It is an astonishing piece which exposes the flaws in the thinking of the likes of Steve Chalke and all those ‘Christian’ leaders who want us to turn away from (or reinterpret … Continue reading Matthew Parris – An Atheist Homosexual with a Better Understanding of Christianity than many Church leaders!
