Killing out of kindness?
A survey for the BBC* has found that 73% of people believe friends or relatives of someone who is terminally ill should be able to assist their suicide.
And Terry Pratchett says the UK should set up assisted suicide “tribunals” which may grant people legal permission to end their lives.

We’re called to be salt and light, what will you do?
The following petition has been set up on the downing street website:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Remove the current employment provisions set out in Schedule 9, Paragraph 2, subsection 8 of the Equality Bill (the occupational requirements relating to sex, marriage and sexual orientation for the purposes of organised religion). These restrict the rights of religious bodies to employ personnel who conform to their teachings only if their duties are confined to worship activities or the explanation of doctrine.

A Question of Value
Apologies for my few months absence from the blog, the challenges of ministry have kept from leaping into print quite as much as I should.
Certainly the pressures on the Christian church and the assault on faith from various quarters hasn’t disappeared, as the likes of The Christian Institute and Christian Concern For Our Nation, thankfully keep telling us.
And I am very happy to “get back into the groove” and raise awareness of up and coming legislation or other threats, but it seemed to me that I should perhaps first ask whether there is any value in this? Perhaps maybe you receive regular updates elsewhere? So before I start the New Year with enthusiastic blogging, please could you let me know….
….is there real value here?
