Being a consultant to the latest part of the LLF process has been... interesting. As Synod prepares to meet, here's my plea for theological coherence, and appropriate scrutiny, rather than Anglican fudge. (And - I proposed a more nuanced headline...!) premierchristianity.com/opin…

Criminalisation of same-sex activity around the world is very real (Ghana last year, Uganda recently). Articles we’d encourage you read on the subject: Living Out charity’s response: livingout.org/resources/post… Dr Kirsten Birkett’s article on @churchsociety: churchsociety.org/resource/d…

The only glory that really, really, really can satisfy your heart is the beauty of God, the honor of God, the applause of God, the love of God. – @timkellernyc's sermon, The Culture of Pride

3 June 1886, 32 young men, pages in court of Bugandan King, burned to death at #Namugongo. As Christians, they refused the king’s homosexual advances & demand to renounce faith. Led to many coming to faith: the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. #Uganda #martyrsday

This is Molly they think they belong in women’s cycling! Molly should race with people with the same anatomy … otherwise it’s just cheating in plain site. Emperors new cloths! Stop staying silent on this… @UCI_cycling no parent wants their daughter in a race with this person

Migration is a blessing not a burden. Enjoyed speaking with @KayBurley about offering hospitality to refugees from #Sudan we have a petition we are delivering to @10DowningStreet today you can sign it here: sanctuaryfoundation.org.uk/s…
"Migration's great for our country." @krishk tells @KayBurley that a "fear of net migration" is a "real dead-end", and adds that "our whole NHS would fall apart without migrant workers". trib.al/BSuiSZC 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

methinks this is the essence and power of Tim Keller that's missing from many of his admirers, the power of love, kindness, and humility, to be disarming and winsome in a polarized world; praying that more pastors would be known for their empathetic and engaging posture

Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...

We love the Church of England. We hear evangelical voices across the Church expressing deep concern on the trajectory the bishops’ proposals have put us on. Now is the time to make your voice heard, especially to your bishops. youtube.com/watch?v=JO3nsDIn…

Commendable of Archbishop Samy from Egypt to plead with the English bishops not to let the Mother Church of global Anglicanism fall into apostasy....tragically the pleading of faithful orthodox Anglicans around the Communion has been ignored. The ripple effects will be huge.

Our response to the Resolution by the #CcE to offer blessing to Same-sex couples in marriage. "We affirm that the Holy Scripture is authoritative in all matters of faith & any departure from historic Formularies and the plain teachings of the scripture must be corrected.

Life for orthodox Christians will now get much, much harder, with the Church of England's abandonment of orthodoxy. It is vital that orthodox Christians in every denomination stand together to proclaim the goodness of the gospel of Christ, and the goodness of his commands.
