Christianity will always be relevant and essential to our society

Westminster: our work is not done – what does this mean for 2023?

From Andrew Tate to #MeToo: can we bridge the battle of the sexes?
Ten years ago, it was not uncommon to find 15-year-old me in a heated debate with my 80-year-old neighbor. From Brexit to foreign policy to climate change, you name a subject, we probably disagreed on it. We would embark on lengthy – yet always friendly – debates over a cup of tea around the…
