A new data protection law is being considered by the UK government, and one of the changes would allow charities to send marketing messages to individuals by electronic mail without needing consent in some cases (called soft opt-in). This will provide charities with significant opportunities to…

I would argue that at the time, British and Irish churches were playing catch-up on racial justice and so were unable to shape or lead the conversations on those equality-related issues which came into focus after May 2020. Nature abhors a vacuum, and with regard to racial justice, into this vacuum…
