Is the ‘missing generation’ still missing? Welcome to the conversation
Today marks the launch of a new resource from the Evangelical Alliance to help us navigate the changing landscape as we emerge from effects of the global pandemic, especially with regard to young adults. Exactly a year and a week ago, I flew to Abu Dhabi to speak to a conference of hundreds of…

Building a better story: abortion, disability and the church
This bill has a tightly defined objective and there remains much work to be done, to restore lost protections for women and unborn children but this could be a small but significant step in the right direction. At equallyhuman.org you will find a tool to enable members of the public to easily…
The posture and power of service

Job creation: our Christian witness
When it’s not us, it’s easy to say the right thing, offer prayer, shake our head at the situation and yet stay personally uninvolved. But we cannot stay uninvolved – this is not God’s nature, and it’s not how He’d want His people to act. It is right that we mourn with those who have lost jobs,…

Lessons in job creation from a Christian entrepreneur
Transcend turned the normal business start-up process on its head, to tackle high unemployment, especially among graduates, and build hope. Instead of seeking the best business idea and location to maximise returns, the starting point for me was to bring God’s blessing to the community he had…
