More sinner than sinned against? Tim Farron in the court of public opinion

In a post-Christian country which has a church attendance rate of around 10 per cent, it's clear that most people don't have a detailed concept of what 'sin' actually is. Yet it was Farron's belief (or not) that homosexuality was a 'sin', which brought down opprobrium on him.

Is Justin Welby playing \'rock, paper, scissors\' with church unity? Does he know that \'Rock\' wins?
Is Justin Welby playing 'rock, paper, scissors' with church unity? Does he know that 'Rock' wins?

We have to be candid: unless something unexpected happens, the 'scissors' option will unfold in the Church of England, just as it has in north America, and ultimately globally. But in the church, it's 'rock' that always comes out on top

Why I'm a Christian voting Conservative tomorrow

Policy is where political and philosophical theory meet the reality of life lived. Where the rubber hits the road.

Dear America: A letter to the US about the London attack

First, thank you for caring about the latest terrorist attack in London. There's been a outpouring of love and support that's been really heartening, and we're grateful.

Political Correctness isn\'t to blame for the London attack – and neither is Theresa May
Political Correctness isn't to blame for the London attack – and neither is Theresa May

It would be easy to blame Saturday's London terror attack on Theresa May. Easy, but unfair, unhelpful and, ultimately, wrong.

Trump's imminent decision must propel us to further, collaborative action, not less. Now is the time to stand up, speak out and live differently to ensure we achieve climate justice.

Professor Sir Keith Burnett, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Sheffield, on the lessons we can learn from St Edmund Campion at a time when language used in his era to describe the Irish sounds so much like the way antisemites have talked of Jews down the ages – and now sounds like the way some people talk about Muslims.

How do we respond to atrocities such as Manchester? Only love can win this battle.

Truth is not the only virtue in peril this election. Grace and justice are also at risk

Why most women are not happy with the status quo on abortion, and why this matters

Women want a better outcome for women than more abortions. It is inexcusable that the extension of women's rights has been indissolubly linked with the erosion of the right to life of our unborn children. This is not progress, freedom or equality – quite the opposite.
