@AP_Davison @ChurchTimes Sorry that this is happening, Andrew. I'm not sure why it is doing that, but I have contacted our app developer about it and will be back in touch when I find out more

So much enjoyed this no-holds barred conversation with Rowan Williams about the meeting point between Christianity and politics. We went into

- The 'Ordo Amoris' and who we have primary duty towards
- Immigration and Climate Change
- Satan and whether he is at work in the Trump administration
- The Church of England and its evil bureaucracy

The Most Revd Hosam Naoum, Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem and Primate of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, has shared a pastoral letter in light of escalating conflict in the Middle East.

He calls the global Church to join 'in urgent, unceasing prayer. We implore God to protect the innocent—the mothers, the children and the elderly—who are caught in the crossfire'.

A sermon on Paul’s great line ‘But the free gift is not like the trespass’ (and, to some extent, simply on the significance to Paul’s thought of the word ‘but’, which is huge).

[Ian Marshall @IanPlayfair]

Happy publication day to @James_Macintyre whose superb new biography of Gordon Brown is out today from @BloomsburyBooks and has been getting some terrific coverage. Great to see copies on display in @Foyles, @gowerst_books and @Dauntbooks

After four fascinating and fulfilling years at the @ChurchTimes, I'm leaving in a couple of weeks for pastures new.
Or, to be more precise, a whole host of new pastures, on the other side of the world... You can find out more on my newly (re)launched blog: https://t.co/z3byaFuMjR
