Make Cathedrals a Centre of Mission, Not a Tourist Centre!
Brothers and sisters, if you agree with this strategy, then please do share it with a Bishop that you think needs to hear it. I want to address in this article how our beautiful cathedrals are being used by their custodians; the Bishops, and Arch - Deacons, and others...
Why Christians Should Boycott Halal Meat (and Other anti-Christian Businesses) and Set Up Their Own Alternative
In Saint Patrick's Square, Soho, there is a Hindu Temple; a Krishna Consciousness temple, if I am not mistaken. On the ground floor of this temple complex is a vegan restaurant. I want you to imagine, as we are walking past it, that I suggest to you that we go and...
The Church in a Failed State!
Christians, for now, live across the whole of the globe. With tears in my eyes, I fear that this will not be the case before my life ends. Christianity is set to move from a truly global faith to a regional faith, as a world beset with problems and rabid Christophobia...
Christians Need to Create Families and Here is How; Give up the Romantic Model!
There is a crisis occurring in the Church, at least as far as I have seen during my lifetime; a crisis that the so-called Church leaders have unsuccessfully addressed. In my estimation, they have had no vision. Harsh words, I know, but please read on. In 2014...
The Political Idolatry of Christians and How to Cure It

Points where Protestants and Catholics can Unite, Despite the Differences!
Dear reader, you will know I am sure that I am an ecumenical Christian; which means that I navigate the differences between Christians, much like a surveyor navigates a landscape, I see high and low views everywhere; I envision the truth claims of the Christian faith...

Why Charles Should Not Take the Oath to ‘Defend the Faith’; and Why Monarchy Should be Separated From the Church of England
Taking an oath is a serious thing - and on the 6th of May King Charles will take oaths before GOD in a holy church during a mass and publicly that he can not possibly keep, and this is a problem. Let us first look at what Charles wants to say: in 2015, in an...
Being a Disciple of Christ: Christianity as a Complete Way of Life
It is an often-repeated trope amongst Muslims in particular, and amongst some Progressives, that Christianity is a spent force; or not a serious religion. Part of this critique is that the Christian treats their faith as a 'part' of their life, rather than the whole...
