Everyone seems to be talking about the weather as never before.
After 2013 saw the coldest spring in the UK since 1891 and December 2013 was the stormiest since records began in 1869, 2014 opened with the wettest January in southern UK since 1988, and the fifth wettest ever.
Not the same God

On 12 July at The Law Society in Chancery
Lane, London, Christian Concern hosted a
book launch for Not the Same God, written
by two former Muslims, converts to the
Christian faith.
Christian Concern is a non-profit organisation founded by Andrea Williams. She said of
the book that it ‘certainly shines a spotlight on
contemporary culture’, one in which there is
considerable pressure to minimise differences
between religions and to accept that Muslims
and Christians worship the same God.
Cheers and challenges

It’s very easy to lament all that is wrong about the Church of England – after all, there is quite a lot to choose from!
Sometimes, however, it’s also good to reflect on some of the positives that still exist. For example, as a national church, the CofE still has a voice that carries some weight in a way that other denominations do not. Thus, in recent discussions about the migrant crisis at Calais and its effect on the UK, the Bishop of Dover was on hand to offer a much needed Christian comment on how we view those seeking to come here.
Token men?

Will there ever be a conservative evangelical bishop who believes in complementarianism in the Church of England again?
According to the Archbishop of Canterbury, there will. Justin Welby was explaining to members of Parliament’s Ecclesiastical Committee a previously-made promise to appoint such a conservative evangelical bishop ‘within a matter of months’.

The ‘last London Men’s Convention in its present form’ was bathed in sunshine as hundreds of Christian men from various parts of the UK arrived for the evening session at Westminster Central Hall on April 26.
Andy Fenton led the singing – how great it is to praise God in a big crowd. Having started in 2002, those gathered reflected on the past 12 years of the convention and gave thanks to God for men coming to a saving faith during the conventions and for many Christians being encouraged.
