The CofE is a broad Church: let us welcome gay couples

The Diocese of London is hardly a hotbed of liberal theology. Indeed, it is probably one of the most conservative dioceses in the country. So it really comes to something when more than a hundred of its clergy sign up to a letter calling for the opportunity to celebrate civil partnerships in churches. And I was one of them.

We owe Dickens a great debt for his Christmas vision

Riots on the streets. Politicians held in contempt. Bankers in the City widely derided as greedy and unconcerned. A million young people without jobs. And Christmas too. What better time than this to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens?
