Belonging: How the church can create community and connection for disabled people
Becky is a 21-year-old Christian student. Most students find that people are friendly and chatty, after they have overcome their ‘freshers nerves'.

Daily Advent prayers
At Advent, we turn our hearts and minds towards the light that broke into the world's darkness. The light that has changed everything. We are invited to encounter that light and then asked to be that light ourselves, in a world that so desperately needs it. Written by Fred and Caroline Drummond…
I’m fed up with MPs throwing insults – but can I judge them?
I have found this episode profoundly disturbing on a number of fronts, not least for how it highlights how little we've come to expect from our politicians, and what it has showcased of the culture and language of PMQs.

Drug misuse accounted for 36% of the deaths, and alcohol-specific deaths were 13% of the total. Put together, essentially half of the deaths were due to drugs or alcohol. Due to the complex nature of homelessness, it is likely that all these numbers are an under-estimation. It has also been…
