Radio 4's morning news magazine, the Today Programme, today - Tuesday - had Bono (lead singer of U2 and anti-poverty activist) as a guest editor. There was a fair bit said about the Make Poverty History campaign http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/. Presumably for today only you can listen again...

I expect you've seen this before, but it might be fun to see just how "liberal" we all are! http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Karin

I just wanted to remind you that you can send a card (or two) that will make a real difference to someone this Christmas. Many people in this world are in prison or suffering persecution because they have stood up for what they believe, and even beacuse they have worked to alleviate the...

I'm not too bothered who influences the UN but I do pray that all the member states will be persuaded to get their act together and work to reduce global warming. As individuals we can also do our bit to reduce fuel consumption and pollution. Global warming causes real problems for poor people...

I found this great little free booklet in our local Post Office, written and researched by Martin Wroe and Malcolm Doney (respected British writers on these matters, with links to Christian Aid) and sponsored by the Dept for International Development (i.e. a government department). There’s all...

Happy Advent to you all. :wave: You might enjoy this Advent Calendar http://www.wearewhatwedo.org/ It has music and flashing lights, too. Karin

A British Baptist minister and current member of the Evangelical Alliance called Steve Chalke seems to think Jesus' message has been lost and so has written a book with this title. I'm not so sure it's totally lost, but I agree it is often hidden and sometimes even buried. I shall copy a post...

I'm told the "Openness of God" theory (or whatever, think it's based on a book) is big in the US and heading for Britain, so it's interesting that a search here brings nothing up on the topic. I'd be interested to know what it's about, if anyone can tell me, and also how it differs from...

Martyn Joseph, the Welsh singer/songwriter who wrote Liberal Backslider (an ironic song in response to criticism) also wrote a song, with the help of his friend Tom Robinson, about the things Jesus never said although they are often attributed to him. His friend Steve Chalke, the Baptist...

Last night several Bible scholars were introduced as Christian scholars, yet they said they did not believe the resurrection actually took place. My question, for anyone who thinks like this is what do you actually believe? For me the whole point of Christianity is that Jesus was God's Son...

I recently received an e-mail from which this is an extract: Perhaps you are lucky enough not to have to worry about debt, but many people in the UK do, and the poorest are usually hit the hardest having to rely on unscrupulous money lenders who charge exhorbitant rates of interest. I hope you...

I see some people who don't believe that God used evolution as part of his creation process call themselves "Young Earth Creationists". Does this mean there are different sorts of "Creationists"? If so, what are the different categories and what are differences in what they believe. Perhaps...

I hope some of you fall into this category and will contribute to the Social Justice Section. I think Jesus is concerned about unfair trade, injustice in the rules that govern world trade, debt in develping countries and in our inner cities and all the ways we oppress and exploit each other. I...

As Sharp brought the matter up on the Trade Justice thread, I thought I'd post a bit about how aid is being given to the refugees in Dafur. I found this on the Christian Aid website: Unfortunately the news is not all good: [size=2] [size=3] To read more about the situation at the...

Not sure where to put this. There's a touch of country about his songs, but he doesn't really fit in that category. Martin John Nicholls has brought out a new CD based on his experiences in Palestine last year, and with the songs from that he also performs a show, both of which are called...

On 26th September there will be a rally for Trade Justice taking place in Brighton (that's in the UK). The purpose has been set out as the following: I hope UK posters will be coming. (More info can be found here, including how to find a coach going in the right direction...
