Why cancelling Sam Allberry is unbiblical
The Church is right to hold leaders accountable for moral failure. But the rush to erase Sam Allberry’s past writings reflects a view of sin and grace that sits uneasily with scripture itself, argues Rev Peter Crumpler. The Bible is full of flawed people through whom God still chose to work, he says
Opinion

The BBC's Pilgrimage reminded me that place matters - it’s why Jesus came to earth
The physical places visited by the celebrities on BBC’s The Pilgrimage affected them profoundly. A trip to the birthplace of Mozart and the death camp of Dachau had a similar effect on Derek Hughes.

Paul Parkhouse shares his perspective
