I had always assumed that the latter was the function of the police. However … Continue reading The Thought Police of the New Revolution
A couple of weeks ago the Scottish Government closed their consultation on gender self-identity and the Church of Scotland produced a ‘pastoral guidance’ booklet on the issue of transgender. I reviewed the book here. I ended with the following: “I hope and pray that the faithful ministers who remain in the Kirk will not hand out this propaganda, but will challenge 121 and the bureaucracy … Continue reading The Lion has Whimpered
The Lords timing is perfect! In the providence of God it appears as though he has arranged for myself and Annabel to head on sabbatical at just the right time. As the son of The Beast from the East arrives in the UK we will be heading East to Australia. Its not just the physical storm we will be leaving.

When I want to understand the culture I find that Dundee taxi drivers and hairdressers are usually pretty good barometers. As regards the latter I was speaking to my hairdresser today and she told me about ‘gender reveal’ parties. I had no idea what they were and at first thought they might be a kind of coming out party for transgender people. But no – … Continue reading Two Churches Struggling with (Gender) Identity

This is the first of a two part series published here in Christian Today – looking at some predictions for the year that lies ahead. ————————————————————————————————— It’s always dangerous to claim to be a prophet.
