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

With so much tragedy and unrest dominating our news headlines, it can be tempting to turn away or become disheartened. But in a world where conflict drowns out compassion, we need peacemakers more than ever, says Dr Krish Kandiah
