Krish Kandiah travelled to Bethlehem in search of solutions to the current conflict
Bethlehem is closer than you might think.
This week it took me just eight hours to travel the 3,000 miles from London to the town where Jesus was born. That’s a fraction of the time it took Mary and Joseph to get there from Nazareth that first Christmas. But despite the progress the world has made in transport solutions, human suffering in that region remains just the same, with the political turmoil and feelings of hopelessness just as crippling.
I was in Bethlehem this week in search of a Christmas miracle. With no sign that a ceasefire between Gaza and Israel is currently achievable, I wanted to see if there were other ways peacemakers could play their part.

A new UN report says all but three countries in the world will have below replacement levels of reproduction by the end of the century. God’s command to ”increase in number” was never meant to be an optional extra, says Miriam Cates. It’s time that Christians took it seriously again

If amendments to the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill are passed next week, a woman could have an abortion at any point and not face prosecution. While the media continues to focus on the assisted suicide bill, the possible decriminalisation of abortion is flying under the radar, says James Mildred
