World Cup 2018: the dark side of offside
Is it me or does it feel like this World Cup has already gone on for at least 10 years? Unfortunately, there's no end in sight as, in December, I'm marrying a man who loves the game.While I don't see the appeal, I'm not disputing the potential benefits of football – although I do deeply believe…

Windrush 70th anniversary celebrates love, hope and unity
As the songs sung by the gospel choir filled Westminster Abbey, I found myself wondering whether recent migrants from the Caribbean would ever have imagined such a scene: a significant aspect of their cultural roots being celebrated in a royal church in the centre of London. It was a real privilege…

How did the Reformation change the church?

And it took a little while before the implications of the 95 short statements –about how the Pope couldn’t forgive sins through…

Singing in the changes
Two eager Americans approached me outside the Marienkirche in Wittenberg, inviting me to sing Luther’s most famous hymn in the church in which he preached. I duly entered with 20 or so others and sang lustily about God’s victory over the Prince of Darkness. Another box to tick off on the…
