A woman’s work
This tweet from Owen Strachan has been causing a bit of a stir on social media I wanted to respond briefly here but also to link to something a bit more detailed. I’m a complementarian which means I believe that men and women are made equal but different (in other words we are meant to… Continue reading A woman’s work
Complying with COVID measures did not imply a lack of faith
One of the nastiest lies put about through the last year is that anyone who sought to comply with COVID-19 measures such as wearing face masks, social distancing and co-operating with restrictions on church gathering were somehow lacking in faith.

What lessons will the UK learn from the COVID-19 pandemic?

So, what did those election results tell us about he current state of the parties. Labour… Continue reading Reflections on elections

During COVID-19 lockdowns, churches were forced to make greater use of online provision. Most saw significant engagement with their output beyond their regular congregations. Of course, early figures may have eld to false optimism, once we had accounted for people clicking on and off links and other Christians “church surfing” the numbers weren’t as huge… Continue reading After COVID – let’s not forget about evangelism
Facing Depression
I’ve previously shared this testimony on YouTube. Here’s an audio version for those who prefer to listen to podcasts whilst walking, running, driving etc.
Christian Patriarchy may be following the wrong trajectory
Patriarchy seems to be a dominant word at the moment. It’s being used as a term of accusation and abuse against complementarians. For example, Beth Allison Barr whose book I reviewed recently identifies this as the big problem with conservative evangelicalism.
