I’ve done some #WalkAndTalk Faithroots Podcasts continuing to respond to both the Unite The Kingdom rally and Christian involvement under the banner of Christian Nationalism TL:DR (or watch), Christian Nationalism is an attempt to stick the label “Christian” onto a false god and a false gospel. It relies on a misunderstanding of the Bible, history… Continue reading Christian Nationalism the Vlogs

Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism
It’s not that long back that whenever I wrote or spoke about things like Doug Wilson, Federal Vision and Christian Nationalism that I would get the pushback “why are you even talking about them?” In recent weeks the pushback on Christian Nationalism has become “you need to be very careful about what you say about… Continue reading Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism
Is it a good thing that Papua New Guinea has declared itself a Christian Nation?
Papua New Guinea amended its constitution identifying itself as a Christian nation earlier this year. I’ve recently been asked what I make of this and whether or not I can commend it as a good thing. This is really a concrete example of the hypothetical question “wouldn’t you rather have a nation that is built… Continue reading Is it a good thing that Papua New Guinea has declared itself a Christian Nation?
Doug Wilson and understanding the past to better understand the present
Murray Campbell has written recently about people in Australia beginning to get interested in Doug Wilson. I want to pick up here on one specific thing he says in the article: As a quick aside, the Doug Wilson who was preaching and teaching some useful and valuable ideas a decade ago is quite different from… Continue reading Doug Wilson and understanding the past to better understand the present
Stand with Britain’s Jews because that’s the right thing to do … Not for any other agenda
Yesterday’s terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester was horrific. There have been so many warnings about the increased fear that Jews are experiencing. On Yom Kippur those fears became a reality. This attack didn’t come out of nowhere, as shocking as it was. I’ve written recently about racism and how word, symbols and marches… Continue reading Stand with Britain’s Jews because that’s the right thing to do … Not for any other agenda
What do we do about Christian Nationalism in practice?
It’s when you start to talk about the practical implications of Christian Nationalism’s errors that you start to get some pushback. People will happily go along with discussion about its relative merits but I’ve found that the strongest resistance I’ve had has been to my suggestion that churches, networks and national leaders should act, not… Continue reading What do we do about Christian Nationalism in practice?
Is there a relationship between a possible (“Quiet) Revival and a far right revival?
This is in sum the question that someone asked me recently. As it happens, I’ve seen quite a few people arguing that there is a link, although they balk at the term far right. I’ve seen a number of articles and read a number of blog posts suggesting that some Christians do see a link… Continue reading Is there a relationship between a possible (“Quiet) Revival and a far right revival?
The burden of proof – and why we seem to struggle to challenge the far right
It’s funny isn’t it? People were fairly relaxed about me writing articles reflecting on issues around flags, marches and nationalist ideology. However, as soon as I suggested that this should lead to action, specifically that church networks should not partner with, or include in their number, those who endorse and align with the far right… Continue reading The burden of proof – and why we seem to struggle to challenge the far right
Problems with the church leaders’ letters about the Tommy Robinson march
A couple of days ago, a letter signed by a number of church leaders wasrepottred in the Times responding to the Tommy Robinson march and in particular it’s coopting of Christians and Christian symbols. Evangelicals were among those who signed it.on I am grateful that several Evangelicals have spoken up boldly. I agree with the… Continue reading Problems with the church leaders’ letters about the Tommy Robinson march
Christian nationalism and ethno-cultural nationalism
One of my concerns is that whilst we might have seen some Christian leaders speaking up and expressing concern about flags and marches, we still haven’t got people dealing head on with the underpinning ideology. I hope that this ideology is becoming clearer. If not it might be helpful to watch this video of a… Continue reading Christian nationalism and ethno-cultural nationalism
