UK in transition: A significant moment of change
Graham Nicholls
And so begins the reign of our new monarch, King Charles III. This comes at a time of economic and political anxiety – worries about the cost of living, constitutional pressures within the devolved nations of the UK, a war in Europe, and a new Prime Minister in post.
Although history normally progresses over time, there are momentous moments of change which encapsulate the change, and this seems like one of those times.
Evangelical Futures: Gospel unity in the face of evangelical tribalism
Graham Nicholls
When asked to write about ‘some of the issues we currently face as a constituency’ I could have picked a number of issues, like evangelism (we could do better) or discipleship (we could do much better), or the pressures from contemporary culture (massive).
But actually, my initial thought was: who is our constituency? What kind of churches, organisations and people are in it? Am I in it? Where are the boundary lines? If en readers are a constituency, then what unites them? It’s the gospel, right? Isn’t that what unites all Christians?

Loving country without losing the gospel
Christmas decorations are now up everywhere. For some people, this is a welcome relief from the ongoing proliferation of the various UK flags in all those places and more.
When it comes to the flags, some of us find it tempting to make harsh and hasty judgements about those putting them up, perhaps condemning a caricature of Christian nationalism as we do so.
