I am stepping down from my role as Director of the Jubilee Centre and stepping out to pioneer a community of reform around the whole challenge of housing.

Let’s not be too quick to consign this tragic and turbulent year to history and take more opportunities to share our faith and hope by contributing to civil society.

Some Christians are at the forefront of this tribalisation of politics, creating a polarisation of views and eroding the middle ground on which many believers used to stand.

The felt gap between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’ is a powerful prompt to return to God and cherish the best parts of life—our relationships with others—over other idols.

A focus on generating leaders of character without the safeguards of accountability will fail.

We are not free to maximise our own pleasure and happiness at the expense of others; such thinking comes not from Genesis 1 but Genesis 3 – it arose from the Fall. Much of the resistance to the reform of capitalism comes from a faulty anthropology.

When it comes to the decisions needed in a world gripped by a pandemic, is there anywhere in the scriptures which casts a more nuanced light?

For Christians readjusting to life emerging from lockdown, we should be seeking the common good by respecting the law and following any guidelines.

The Bible offers not only encouragement for personal faith in a time of crisis, but also wisdom and insight to guide the Christian in a position of public leadership or influence.

Why God’s four questions in Genesis 3 should still be asked today.

Healthy families are central to a Christian understanding of flourishing society. They are the primary institution where commitment, sacrificial love, support and guidance can grow.

Without context, God’s epoch-defining intervention in human history to rescue and transform the world, is turned into an anodyne children’s story.

To act justly is to pay fair wages, and also to pay workers in a fair manner.

Let’s resist being caught up in polarising narratives and instead adopt the Samaritan strategy: see others through God’s eyes.

Jesus taught his disciples to love their enemies, and pray for those who persecute them.
