An excellent post of the Creep of Christian nationalism into UK churches symonhill.org/2026/02/07/w...

If Christians were better able to accept "both and" arguments rather than "either or" we would be far better at reaching people who are not yet Christians

The Gospel isn’t offensive because of who it excludes The Gospel is offensive because of who it includes

Prime Minister commits to working with faith groups on social cohesion. He tells a reception at Number Ten that he's more worried about cohesion than he has been for many years, and recognises that interfaith work has been 'severely tested'

The three questions to ask if a Christian Nationalist talks about Sharia Law: Do you believe that all moral truth comes from God? Do you believe that religious principles should influence our laws? Do you believe in traditional family structures including marriage and gender roles?

Taking the Bible literally doesn't mean you are taking it seriously

"Peter Mandelson lost his job for being friends with a paedophile. Donald Trump, who was friends with the same paedophile, was given a state banquet hosted by a King whose brother lost his job because he was friends with the same paedophile.“

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20% "The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union" Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

The Ryder Cup reveals so much about the American psyche, and explains so much Their players struggle to play as a team and often think they are better than they are Their fans are rude, obnoxious and ignorant, and lack basic etiquette

But Angela Raynor....

There are no examples in any of the four Gospels of where Jesus gave an alter call. Jesus said, "Follow me," because he was going to model a new way of living! He was not offering a hell avoidance scheme but a full life plan!

Dickie Bird, Danny Thompson and Ray Simpson all passed away this week. It's a weird trinity that combines my interests in: Cricket Folk Music Celtic Christianity

Maybe we should spend less energy on predicting the "Rapture" (which Jesus said even he didn't know the date of) And more time extending the Kingdom of God, especially among the poor?

I find it very telling that when Christian Nationalists try to justify their actions, they selectively quote the Old Testament or Paul, but hardly ever quote the Gospels..

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I suspect what we do in the bedroom is more important to Christians than God. I think God is more interested in justice for the poor God is only interested in what we do in the bedroom, when what we do in the bedroom is abusive, coercive, and exploitative

"Fight back or you die" Elon Musk "Love your enemies" Jesus

There is no Woke Agenda It's just being kind.

Funny. Right wing Christians, who for years have been telling liberal/progressive churches to stick to the Gospel, not cultural issues Are now asking why churches weren't talking enough about Charlie Kirk! Weird

Vote Reform get a failed Tory

It's increasingly obvious that Reform are not an anti-establisment party, but the establishment wearing a different hat (or rosette)

If God "saved" Donald Trump when someone tried to kill him.... Where was God yesterday, when a shooter took the life of Charlie Kirk?

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

Nick Robinson on the BBC asked why are the Green Party invisible? Perhaps it is because he and the BBC almost never invite them on their shows.
