When our kids were young,
one of their favourite books
was We’re going on a bear
hunt.
It’s a great bed-time
tale by Michael
Rosen,
illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. A
family sets out in search of a bear. On the
way they are faced with difficult terrain — a
river, thick mud, a dark forest… The repeated refrain is: ‘We can’t go over it. We can’t go
under it. Oh no! We’ve got to go through it!’
Sometimes you have to just face things. It’s a
life lesson.

With the passing of the same-sex marriage
bill the politically correct world has arrived.
The faithful, non-PC church can’t get round
it. Just as gay activists have pursued B&B
owners, Christian counsellors and hounded
MPs holding views contrary to their own, it is
unlikely that Bible-based churches will simply
be left alone. We will have to go through it.
