There has been a pattern to recent attempts by some of us to raise concerns about the growth of a form of so called “Christian Nationalism” which is in effect simply a baptised ethno-cultural nationalism. Any questions about connections to the far right and the historically appalling agenda of the National Front BNP and English… Continue reading Why are the Christian Nationalists unwilling to talk?

It’s time for Evangelical leaders to take a clear stand against Christian Nationalism
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
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.

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
How did ‘pietism’ end up as a dirty word?

In this interview, Christopher Wickland argues that England and indeed the whole United Kingdom has made covenants with God. The result is that if we have abandoned them, we are now under the curses of Deuteronomy. There has been a particular focus on the curse of a foreign people from far off coming to take… Continue reading Does Britain have a covenant with God?
The invasion we need to guard against
I’ve talked a little bit here about how the language of “invasion” is being used to describe asylum seekers and immigrants. Christian Nationalism puts the focus on nation states and ethno-cultural groups and says that these are the things that need to be protected. Once again, they miss what Scripture actually tells us. In Acts… Continue reading The invasion we need to guard against
What happens when we think of immigration as an invasion
One of the most shocking responses to a video I shared on YouTube about learning to love our Muslim neighbours was the one that compared immigrants to the Martians in the War of the Worlds, coming to destroy us. We should be shocked by such dehumanizing language and we should be disturbed at where this… Continue reading What happens when we think of immigration as an invasion
The King and the Pope
Some Christians have been quite exercised over King Charles’ State Visit to the Vatican where he prayed with the Pope. Here is my response.
Dreams about war -what they do and don’t mean
Christopher Wickland who identifies as one of the so called “patriot pastors” linked to Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom protest shared this claimed prophecy on Facebook today. I want to respond here for two reasons, first of all because I myself had a dream recently that seemed to touch on the same issue of “war”… Continue reading Dreams about war -what they do and don’t mean
