In response to Maeve Sherlocks compelling report I was reminded that our own Lord was born in a small town where there was no room for a heavily pregnant woman and that later He was exiled for His own safety in a strange land. Maeve's article begs the question, why is it that 2000 years later, there are still pregnant women who are given no room and children who have to flee? And why is it happening in a so-called caring non-tyrannical society as our own? Lets have a thread to promote the christian response to asylum seekers, people who are prisoners of conscience (of all political and religious backgrounds) or are generally suffering despotic rulers and regimes. We can raise individual cases known to us in need of prayer (where necessary in generalised terms to protect the people concerned) and have detailed discussions on how we Christians can bring influence to bear on the matter of Human Rights.

A very brief note about "decline" in a living society posted by Bowman

Adrian-- I was recently flabbergasted to be told, by several who would know, that the Unitarian-Universalists around Boston are mostly "Jesus is Lord!" Universalists at the core, and that their "liberalism" consisted mainly in suspicion of the anti-gnostic strain of the orthodox tradition, which is ...

Progressive Orthodoxy: a way out of the impasse? posted by Bowman

Adrian-- In discussions where liberal religion is important yet underrepresented, your personal perspective and the journey that led to it are interesting in their own right. Your take on modern English church history is a useful counterweight to some idealised recollections. On several policy topic...
