African nations are characterised by persistent 'injustice' so European countries must open their borders to Africans, whose circumstances often 'force' them to migrate, Pope Francis has said in his Christmas message. At no point does Francis acknowledge the complexity of questions around immigration and the issues the recent mass migratory movements from Africa and elsewhere... Continue Reading →
Can a female soul be trapped inside a male body? This is what the advocates of transgender ideology seem to want us to believe. But what does it even mean to be trapped in the 'wrong body'? After all, a person's sex is an intrinsic part of their DNA. Aside from a tiny proportion of... Continue Reading →
What are we to make of the Church of England's new Charter for 'faith-sensitive' and 'inclusive' Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE)? It has been released in the midst of heated controversies over the teaching of gay relationships, transgenderism and masturbation to primary age children, with schools—and courts—refusing to bend to parent concerns.

From the vehemence with which this transgender ideology is being promoted and enforced you would... Continue Reading →
Christian Today recently carried an interview with Ben Ryan, Head of Research at Christian think tank Theos. Ryan is author of How the West Was Lost: Decline of a Myth & the Search for New Stories.
