Emulating Wilberforce

Our society is at a crossroads. The borrowed capital of historical Christian influence is running out. We now have leaders who create rules only to break them, and then use up hours of energy and time denying, dodging, and evading scrutiny.

With a cost-of-living crisis only set to get worse before it gets any better, families will be forced to choose between eating and heating. Of course, this is not new, but the sheer scale of the problem is frightening. Inflation is on the rise. Recession looms large. The Lord is shaking the nation.

Perhaps it’s a tired old cliché, but this all presents a huge gospel opportunity. And an opportunity for confident, Biblically-shaped public square engagement. By public square, I mean the places in our society where stories are told, where debates happen and where ideas are swapped.
