I altered the home page in April 2013 to give it a more blog-like feel.

I don’t have a system for comments, but you can email me here.

Modern Church’s blog was revived in March 2013 and I have been posting there. The links below are to posts on that site.

We get glimpses that there is life after death, but not information about what it’s like. Just as well, considering what happens when people think they know all about it. Text here

The afterlife: just as well we don’t know too much

Assisted Dying Poll

On the poll produced for the Westminster Faith Debates, showing that a large majority think the law should make assisted dying easier. I argue that believing in life after death puts a different perspective on it. Modern Church blog post here.

The meaning of marriage

Blog post responding to Jane Shaw’s article in the Church Times about marriage. Marriage ca.me first, before church leaders saw fit to define it and set limits to it. Text here.

On the poll conducted for the Westminster Faith Debates showing that the churches need to take much more seriously believers who don’t attend church services. Blog post here.

On not going to church

Arguing that the faith of liberals is stronger than the faith of conservatives. Blog post here.
