Christians care for others. It drives us to take action to meet the needs of those in our local communities and beyond. It also defines the way evangelicals vote, according to findings from Thinking faithfully about politics, our recent report. But if we want to care for our neighbours well, we…

A force for good
The police force is one section of society that is, perhaps, feeling the heat more than most, as it endeavours to respond to the increasing demands of the people it serves with fewer officers and support staff to share the workload. In a bid to meet the needs of communities in spite of the…

Book review: In Search of the Common Good
This book is broad in its sweep and ambitious in its vision. It is better at analysing the challenges Christians face than telling them what to do to put things right. But, and I think if I’ve read Meador correctly, he isn’t trying to issue a manifesto for achieving the common good; he is, rather,…

This comes just days after the senior pastor and his church, Jesus House in north-west London, were subjected to a “torrent of hate-filled, abusive and bullysome” messages after Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said his visit to the church’s pop-up vaccination centre on Good Friday was a mistake and…

A church toddler group transformed my life. What could your group do?
In reality I think that my journey to faith started long before this. I was always quietly interested in spirituality, and churches fascinated me. I had met many Christians in my life and was always struck by their positivity, contentedness and kindness. I certainly had lots of questions that I…
