Supposedly, the event was a gathering for far-right nutjobs in the Tory party, intent on ushering in an authoritarian dystopia that will look like a cross between The Handmaid’s Tale, a Donald Trump style ‘Make America Great Again’ and a pub lock-in with Nigel Farage.

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
