Should Christians use AI?
Moving with the times I have been a Christian for over 40 years and have always worked in technology. I currently work for a global bank in AI/Machine Learning, giving me a professional head start on others attempting to get to grips with this new technology. The most recent use of AI is by far the…

Boredom and the search for meaning
In the study, participants were placed in a room for up to 15 minutes with just their minds for company. They also had the option to give themselves a mild electric shock. Shockingly (pun intended), 67% of men and 25% of women chose to do just that. Why? Because we all get bored – and we really…

Parliament votes to legalise unsafe and dangerous abortion
Instead of the law protecting both lives in pregnancy, all unborn children have lost legal protections and women have been abandoned by those tasked and paid to provide care. Some women will risk their own lives and health in the name of ‘autonomy’. Others will be coerced into ‘choosing’ by…

Keir Starmer’s first year in office as prime minister: a tale of two halves
It is my view that the prime minister needs to shift his political focus from international statesman, where he has been more comfortable leading on the global stage, to driving the government’s domestic agenda. Labour’s first year in government has been chaotic and confusing at times and needs…

Why ‘colourblindness’ doesn’t help the church
When Michael was told this, he heard something like: “I don’t want to hear or acknowledge some of the most beautiful parts of who you are ethnically and culturally, and I don’t want to walk with you in the pain of what you have experienced racially.” It is not uncommon to hear “I don’t see colour.”…

From tolerated to celebrated: how we can include children in our services
I was intrigued. This wasn’t a typical Sunday morning; I was conducting research for my master’s degree into children’s voices in the church. Towards the end of the focus group, I asked a five-year-old boy about the sad faces. He confidently told me, “Those are the people in grown-up church. I…

National Day of Prayer for Life
The National Day of Prayer for Life takes place on 27 October each year to mark the date the 1967 Abortion Act was passed in the UK. This legislation provided legal defences to abortion in England, Wales and Scotland, and has led to the loss of over 10 million lives. For many years, Northern…
Telling better stories: how Christians can reclaim media for truth
The rhythm of a weekly or daily paper has been replaced by the endless scroll. Social media, especially for younger generations, is now the dominant source for news and commentary. The influence of old press barons has faded, overtaken by AI tech entrepreneurs who control both platforms and…
