I’m planning to respond a little more to the recent votes in the House of Commons on abortion and the assisted dying bill, probably through a mix of articles and videos. Here’s a video looking at how the legal changes have been introduced

Supporting Faithroots
The aim of faithroots is to do three things. To encourage, equip and support urban church planting, especially but not exclusively in the West Midlands. To provide teaching and training for those who want to go further especially in theological and pastoral training but who for various reasons may not be able to access traditional… Continue reading Supporting Faithroots
The Luke jigsaw puzzle
We are mid-series in Luke’s Gospel at Church at the moment and I’m also working through Luke as part of a Faithroots Teaching series. I thought it might be worth taking a step back to look at the big picture.

For this reason, I’m very cautious about having comments open generally on Faithroots. I have opened the comments on my original… Continue reading Abortion, prosecution, prison and punishment
Responding to the Wee Flea’s critique of my position on abortion law changes
I want to try and do for David Robertson (The Wee Flea), what I wish he had done for me and that is to engage with the substance of his article responding to me. You see, I think there are some substantial misunderstandings in his article and it is worth clarifying them. It would be… Continue reading Responding to the Wee Flea’s critique of my position on abortion law changes
