The right to trial by jury is a Christian principle that must be protected
The prime minister faces a rebellion over his government’s proposals to limit jury trials in England and Wales in an attempt to tackle a record backlog of 79,619 crown court cases. The Christian Legal Centre’s Andrea Williams believes there are Christian principles behind juries. They play a vital role in ensuring no single human authority has unchecked power, she says.The prime minister faces a rebellion over his government’s proposals to limit jury trials in England and Wales in an attempt to tackle a record backlog of 79,619 crown court cases.

​C of E responds to Tommy Robinson’s carols event with ‘Christmas is for all’ message
The Church of England has released a video in response to a Christmas carols event on Saturday being organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson amid calls from a growing number of senior church figures to challenge Christian nationalism. In the 43-second video, Christmas Isn’t Cancelled, posted on the church’s YouTube channel, more than 20 people from the archbishop of York to schoolchildren speak about the “joy, love and hope” of Christmas. The message is “a simple reminder that Christmas belongs to all of us, and everyone is welcome to celebrate”, the C of E said. A number of its leaders are speaking out against the dangers of Christian nationalism and the appropriation of Christian symbols to bolster the anti-migrant views of Robinson and his supporters taking part in the “Unite the Kingdom” event.

A Better Story: How three friends from North London are challenging Christian nationalism
A group of three Christian friends from North London are attempting to tackle notions of ‘Christian nationalism' through a grassroots movement.

Christian school head teacher, parents spar over 'KPop Demon Hunters'
 In a message sent to families, acting head teacher Lloyd Allington said the film’s references to demons were “deeply uncomfortable” for some members of the school’s Christian community. The term K-pop is short for Korean popular music, a genre that originated in South Korea.  “KPop Demon Hunters” has drawn attention for blending typical teen themes with a supernatural plot. Released in June, the movie follows a fictional K-pop girl group that secretly fights demons and features a rival group called the Saja Boys, a demon boy band whose music explores themes such as temptation and seduction. It has become the most-watched film in Netflix’s history and spawned a commercially successful soundtrack.

Christians have been warning about this for decades. Now finally the BBC has been caught red-handed
As the BBC faces mounting allegations of bias and a potential $1billion lawsuit from Donald Trump, Dr Jenny Taylor says the corporation needs to remember its Christian roots and get back to valuing the truth. The BBC faces an existential moment. As the finest – and perhaps freest - media institution in the world faces the wrath of Trump over its biased editing of his speech, it is time for an apology. But will we get one? The Beeb has been caught red-handed, doing – and still denying - what Christians have been saying for decades: creating division and cultural decay in its news and current affairs output. This is more than mere “error”.

June 16, 2023: Christian Post reported: The Church of England Evangelical Council has issued a statement rejecting the criminalization of homosexual behavior. 

September 12, 2022: Theopolis reported: On September 8th 2022, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died. She was our longest-reigning monarch; the magnitude of her presence in the United Kingdom’s life defies most superlatives. The first of her fifteen British prime ministers was Winston Churchill; she appointed her final one, Liz Truss—who was born over a century after Churchill—only a couple of days before her death. Within all of the realms that she ruled, there were more than 170 prime ministers over the duration of her reign. She was the last remaining person in British public life to have served in the Second World War, a living connection to a generation and world that has now almost entirely passed. In 2017, she celebrated her seventieth wedding anniversary with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh and, earlier this year, houses were decked with bunting and streets hosted parties as we marked the Platinum Jubilee. In the wake of her death, we find ourselves scrabbling feebly for ways to express the nature and gravity of our loss. Many have instinctively reached for the language of familiarity: she is the beloved grandmother of her realms, her presence ubiquitous throughout our lives, uniting us with our childhood selves in a sense of love and appreciation. This doubtless expresses something of the love that she evoked in her subjects and around the world, yet it still seems to fall frustratingly short of capturing the weight of her death.

November 30, 2022: Christianity Daily reported: Questions about the position of church leaders in the House of Lords and the disestablishments of the Church of England rise as less people identify as Christians. The Guardian reported that a study stated that less than half of the population of England and Wales identify as Christians. The ONS Census reported that there are 5.5 million fewer Christians from 2011 to today. The Muslim population grew from 2.7 million to 3.9 million.

November 30, 2022: Charisma reported: According to Census 2021, Christianity has now become a minority in England and Wales. And pastor and author R.T. Kendall, who spent 25 years as the senior minister at Westminster Chapel in London, says it's only going to get worse.
The 2021 census revealed that only 46.2% of people identified themselves as Christians, compared with 59.3% of the population in the 2011 census, a 13-percentage point drop over the past decade.

Evangelical Christian Festival Condemned as Exhibitors ‘Brand Palestinians Savage’ and Back Trump’s Ethnic Cleansing Plan
Protests took place at an evangelical Christian Creation Fest in Cornwall over the weekend, after campaigners discovered a stall which appeared to call for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, with leaflets describing Palestinian people as “savage”. Palestine Solidarity Cornwall took action after literature, which campaigners say amounts to hate speech, was found on the Israeli based ‘Maoz Israel’ stall at the four-day festival.  One article advocates for Donald Trump’s widely condemned ‘Riviera’ plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians and rebuild it as part of Israel.  ​ ​

Spurgeon's College, influential Evangelical training center in London, to close after 169 years
Spurgeon’s College in London, a leading Baptist theological institution founded by Charles Spurgeon in 1856, announced its immediate closure on Thursday after 169 years of continuous operation — citing financial insolvency and the sudden loss of critical funding support.

 Christians 'more resilient than non-believers' says new report
Being a Christian helps emotional wellbeing and resilience, according to a new report.
The Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL) surveyed over 2000 adults in the UK (Christian, Muslim and those of no faith) and found that people of faith reported greater life satisfaction and worry less than non-believers. It shows they are also more inclined to recognise positives in life and stay optimistic when faced with challenges. (Premier Christianity 7/25/25) READMORE>>>>>
