Uniting in prayer reminds us of a deeper story for our nations
The 2025 St David's Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast at the Senedd was one such moment – a gathering where faith took centre stage, bridging differences and inviting reflection on the Christian values that continue to shape Wales. The annual event, hosted by the Evan Roberts Institute, has become a…
Four groups negatively affected by the assisted dying bill
Ineffective scrutiny of the bill can be explained by two reasons. Firstly, the committee membership is skewed 18 to 5 in support of the bill, including from both the justice and health ministers attending the committee. Secondly, the bill sponsor along with the 17 other supportive MPs have…

In the turbulence of 2025, the graduate scheme combined my passion for Jesus and politics
Having previously worked within local churches and children's ministry, I have witnessed firsthand the troubles many face in their day-to-day lives – homelessness, food poverty, loneliness, and much more. I also walked alongside parents navigating raising children in modern society, with gender…

Finding Jesus
The Finding Jesus research from the Evangelical Alliance was commissioned to try to understand what was going on in the stories we were hearing of adults in the UK finding Jesus: Who were they? What prompted them to search? What was their journey to Christian faith like? What helped them along the…

Faith and fatherhood in my blended family
Tell us about your journey into fatherhood. When I met my wife, Ellie, some friends were hesitant because she had a child, but that wasn’t a deterrent for me. After our first date I called my mum and said, “I’ve met this amazing girl, but it’s not a typical story – there’s a four-year-old boy…

National Day of Prayer for Life
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…

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…

The long and winding road of leadership
While the call to leave local church to join the Evangelical Alliance was a very clear one, it was also a strange one. I love local church; I believe that local church is, as Lesslie Newbiggin pointed out, “the hermeneutic of the gospel”. We understand and experience the gospel best in the life and…
A glimmer of hope: the Lords is uncovering the truth about assisted suicide
On Friday, the House of Lords concluded its two-day second reading debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. As is convention, the bill wasn’t voted down at this stage, but there was a significant victory: Labour peer Baroness Berger successfully passed an amendment to set up a…
