WATCH: “In the bleak mid-winter”

The first in our annual series of Christmas carols.

Rebecca Lowe Coulson: Luther voted Brexit! And other errors about Britain and the Reformation.

A decision like leaving the EU had billions of causes: some of those were set in motion by happenings centuries ago, but none pre-determine what happens today.

Rebecca Lowe Coulson: Scruton’s European ideal poses unsettling questions

What about those who worship different gods, those who delight in civil rights movements, those mothers who want to go out to work?

Gareth Wallace: As the South Sudan crisis spirals, here’s how World Vision is saving lives

I left feeling proud that as a UK taxpayer my money is being put to such good use, but we mustn’t pat ourselves on the back just yet. Our work is not done.

Kieron O’Hara: How liberalism can undermine the foundations on which it is built

Put harshly, it can be the ideology of the free-rider, the citizen who neglects the demands of citizenship.

Farron’s sideswipe at the ethos of the party he led was truly remarkable

You may not agree with his views on gay sex and abortion – or what were his views – but they should not be marginalised as illegitimate.

“To be a political leader…and to live as a committed Christian…has felt impossible for me.” Farron’s resignation statement in full.

He says that this is especially so in “a progressive, liberal party”

In this election, Christians should deploy the power of the cross

That the pursuit of Farron was legitimate doesn’t mean that they, or anyone else, should feel happy about it – or the bigger trends of which it was part.

Graeme Archer: Farron proclaimed his Christian beliefs. So he can’t complain if he’s quizzed about them.

He doesn’t think homosexuality is normal, and so the canary, down in the LibDem coal-mine, starts singing its querulous warning. It’s a canary he’s trying to strangle.

Music for Easter Sunday: Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus, alleluia.

“Christ our Paschal Lamb has been sacrificed, alleluia. Therefore, let us keep the feast with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, alleluia.”

WATCH: May – People must feel able to speak about faith – “and that absolutely includes their faith in Christ”

The Prime Minister’s message for the season. “This Easter, I think of those values that I learned in my childhood, growing up in a vicarage”.

Music for Holy Saturday: Recessit Pastor Noster

“Our Shepherd is departed, the fount of living water,/At whose passing the sun was darkened…Today the gates of death and their bars as well our Saviour has destroyed.”

Music for Good Friday: Tenebrae Factae Sunt

“There was darkness over the earth.”

The triumph of the Cross

Reports of the Church’s decline ignore worldwide growth, even in such apparently unlikely places as Iran, and throughout much of the Muslim-majority world.

Music for Maundy Thursday: Ubi caritas et amor

“Where charity and love are, there God is.”
