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…

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…

New Relationships and Sex Education guidance published ahead of the 2026 school term
Education is an important aspect of a child’s life and – when done well – can complement their spiritual formation within the home and wider society. Jesus cares deeply about the educational attainment of children and teenagers, but He cares far more that the younger generation would know Him as…

Do not be silent: speaking truth in a culture of fear
So said Winston Churchill in the Commons chamber in October 1943, at the height of World War II. Even in a time of national crisis, Britain held fast to the principle of free speech. Enormous sacrifices were made to preserve it. But do we still cherish this freedom today? In 2019, Rev. Dr. Bernard…

My story: Usha Reifsnider
“We lived in an area of the West Midlands that was mostly White, and there wasn't an Indian community on our doorstep. My dad was one of the first men who was able to bring his wife over from India, and so all the single men who’d had to come on their own had a sense of community that was centred…
