We can and we should be glad that this change may [...]

US Presidential Election Coverage

November 4, 2008

I don’t intend to cover the US election here in any detail. But I thought I should point you in a few directions if you are interested. One thing that has always puzzled UK evangelicals like me is why US politics is so polarized, with so few evangelicals voting Democratic. If you want a clear [...]

Abortion In The UK – Time To Make A Stand

May 17, 2008

Here are some things you can do [...]

Gordon Brown Takes on the Church

May 14, 2008

Okay—political post warning. For those who think Christians should not engage in the political process or write political commentary, I suppose you’d better pass on by. But equally for those looking for an unequivocal statement of support for a particular party or leader, again pass on by. I think it’s important that we have opinions [...]

Viability of Babies in the Womb is Now 22 Weeks

February 28, 2007

The definition of when “life” enters a baby who is in the womb is a challenge for anyone who believes that it is at a different point from conception or at least implantation.

Wayne Grudem on America’s Election

November 4, 2006

Wayne Grudem has published an article which is strongly in support of Bush and the Republicans. What is interesting to me as a Brit is that I could never imagine a leading Christian in the UK endorsing a politician this robustly. And yet you are the ones who separate church and state – not us.
