from Coalition for Marriage: A leading supporter of no-fault divorce has criticised the government’s divorce reforms as “very fast and very unfair”. David Hodson, a leading family lawyer and co-founder of the International Family Law Group (IFLG) has warned that the new law “puts all the cards into the hands” of the person seeking the […]

by Roger Kiska, Christian Concern: Increasingly, it would seem, cultural forces are aggressively trying to wipe out any dissenting views about abortion. On University Campuses across the country, students’ unions are adopting totalitarian pro-abortion policies which seek to prohibit the affiliation of pro-life student groups and no platform any pro-life activities. Such policies are not […]

by Stephen Noll, Contending Anglican: On my way home back from Uganda last week, I stopped over at the Anglican Martyrs’ Shrine at Namugongo, the pagan execution ground, now a pilgrimage site. The new museum (2015) is very impressive – and (trigger warning) very gory. The first converts, who were elite pages of the king’s […]

It’s looking for £150,000 for the case which it says will have big ramifications for the UK church. It stems from the recent cancellation of a booking that the church made at the city’s Usher […]

by Peter Ould, Psephizo: My son is an Arsenal fan. Now, when I say “Arsenal fan”, I need to explain a few things. First, he’s never actually been to see Arsenal play, either home or away. Indeed, he’s never actually been to a professional football game in his entire life. I doubt he could name […]

by Sebastian Millbank, The Critic: On February 26th of this year, Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court overturned the legislation of 2015 that banned the provision of assisted suicide by ‘commercial’ organisations, opening the door to full legalisation of euthanasia in Germany.
