Unshakeable hope in the darkness: a year after October 7
Prayer opens us up to hope I struggled to see how a good, all-powerful God could be at work in a world filled with hatred and war. After I was discharged, I fled to the US. I told myself that I was done with Israel, and I was done with being Jewish. If I heard people speaking Hebrew, I walked in…

Assisted suicide
Assisted suicide is about more than an individual choice; it impacts communities and is of public interest. If the proposals are successful, they will fundamentally change a society’s relationship with the health and social care sector. People will go from receiving a duty of care to feeling a duty…
