In an article published by Evangelical Now, Russell Moore responds to the decision by Tucker Carson to interview and so platform Nick Fuentes who Moore identifies as a “neo-Nazi apologist” Moore spells out that: We have a choice. The Bible will not sit alongside Mein Kampf. The cross will not yield to the swastika. We must… Continue reading It’s time for Evangelical leaders to take a clear stand against Christian Nationalism

The response to the Maccabi Tel Aviv game was not a success
This will probably be my last post on this. I realise that this won’t be the most important topic for a lot of readers. However, as a resident of Birmingham living close to Aston and with Jewish friends, this has been a topic that has mattered much to me personally. I wasn’t going to say… Continue reading The response to the Maccabi Tel Aviv game was not a success
Is Tommy Robinson the archetypical prodigal?
In this video we continue to look at current events through the lens of Luke 15.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, links to the IDF and why attempts to explain their ban from Aston Villa have made things better not worse (updated)
One of the reports circulating is that the police intelligence for the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was that significant numbers 200-500 had “links to the IDF. This is an example of institutionalized/implicit or hidden bias. Note two things 1. We tend to use that kind of language to suggest something sinister eg “links to the… Continue reading Maccabi Tel Aviv, links to the IDF and why attempts to explain their ban from Aston Villa have made things better not worse (updated)
Would Charlie Kirk get summoned for “the talk” in your church?
Aaron Edwards argues here that whilst many Evangelical leaders that lauded Charlie Kirk after his death, they would have seen him as a problem in their own churches and he would have been called in for a talk with the pastor. I write as a church elder who has both written in appreciation of Charlie… Continue reading Would Charlie Kirk get summoned for “the talk” in your church?
Les Miserables : trajectories in Christian Nationalism
One of my favourite stories both as a novel and a musical is Les Miserables. It tells lots of individual stories against the backdrop of social upheaval in France. The story has been on my mind as I’ve been thinking about where we have got to with the Christian Nationalism debate. Why will come clear… Continue reading Les Miserables : trajectories in Christian Nationalism
Conversations with David Robertson (a.k.a The Wee Flea) about flags, marches, open letters and class
David Robertson recently blogged about the recent Unite the Kingdom March, or more specifically about the response of some prominent church leaders to it via an open letter in the Times. I wrote privately initially to David sharing my thoughts in response to the article. However, as our correspondence went on, I thought it might… Continue reading Conversations with David Robertson (a.k.a The Wee Flea) about flags, marches, open letters and class
What happens when a church plant fails? More reflections on Halifax
Yesterday, I wrote about a church in Halifax that had moved from being an FIEC congregation to becoming Eastern Orthodox. Now, some of us might be thinking “what’s the big deal?” After all, as one friend put it, “it’s still a Christian Church” and surely whilst their expression of Christian faith may be different to… Continue reading What happens when a church plant fails?

Why is the BBC playing down the genocide against Nigerian Christians ?
In this article, the BBC, reporting on Donald Trump’s comments about Nigeria plays down reports of genocide against Christians. They state that observers have not detected particular targeting of Christians. This contradicts what we are hearing first hand from Nigerian Christians. It is sobering to hear directly from pastors what is happening and indeed what… Continue reading Why is the BBC playing down the genocide against Nigerian Christians ?
Gospel departure in Halifax
Hope Church, a former Evangelical Church in Halifax has left the FIEC and become part of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Evangelicals Now report on this here. I was already aware of this happening and it has been in process for some time. Evangelicals Now have offered their own response here. Frankly it’s dreadfully weak. Yes,… Continue reading Gospel departure in Halifax
