Ashers – the end of the beginning. Ashers – a Blow to Freedom →. May 6, 2015. Ok, so this is a very dangerous game to play, but I going to make some GE2015 predictions. This is what I think will happen based on all the polls etc, not necessarily what I want. Also please do ‘Show Up’. And vote. This could be the tightest election in years – every vote counts. Given that Sinn Fein will not take their seats an operational majority is 323. Let’s see how badly wrong I am come Friday morning! I think the SNP w...

Freedom, secularism, blasphemy and Charlie Hebdo. January 17, 2015. Jesuischarlie has been trending around the world, but what is an appropriate Christian response to the attacks in Paris? There has been a lot talk about freedom and religious liberty. There was also a suggestion this week that it was time to abolish the blasphemy laws here in Northern Ireland. The vlog (apparently that is what you call a video blog) below which I recorded for EA. For the Spectator, Ed Husain and Peter Welby (son of Justi...

Tom Daley and Christian Voice. August 25, 2016. Others such as Archbishop Cranmer. Have written about the deeply unhelpful tweet by Christian Voice directed at Tom Daley. I wasn’t going to post, but I don’t think the responses above have got the tone and language, which is so important, quite right. Turning gay doesnt seem to have done Tom Daley any favours at #Rio2016. Mdash; Christian Voice (@UKCV) August 20, 2016. Stephen Green has admitted to being provocative. Thirdly, its not biblical or Christian&...

How Herod the Grinch almost stole the first Christmas. December 25, 2014. Herod got more about that first Christmas that most – he understood the implications of a new king being born. I was asked to speak at our family Christmas Eve service and thought that Herod was like the original Christmas Grinch. I discover someone else had had the same idea. And so borrowing from them I developed the script below which was read at Causeway Coast Vineyard Christmas Eve service – enjoy! What should I say? It could ...
