From what I see and hear from churches across the East Midlands, and my own church network, there is a real and tangible sense that something is happening, that the spiritual atmosphere in our nation is shifting; stories of people walking into church to find out about Jesus, young men exploring…

Unity is not uniformity
The Nicene Creed, emerging from the Church Council of Nicaea (AD325), is to be celebrated because it gave us the four markers of the church in One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church. These four markers are important for church unity as they echo the apostolic prayer of Jesus in John 17, when He…
