Question - I've submitted an article to a couple of journals recently to be told each time that it wasn't suitable. It was clearly within the scope of the journal. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Bit of research - would love to know what prayer and bible reading apps people are using. Please tell me about the ones I might not know about, eg mission praying, etc.

Ted Tripp's work, while clear on sin and grace, is deficient on creation and the image of God resulting in 'project parenting'.

You know what I’d call for if I was prime minister - more funding of youth clubs , extracurricular activities, and mental health support - but showing a film looks like concern while costing very little

Nice to have this in print in The Global Anglican. Expecting this to be one of my least popular yet.

Hot take 🔥: 'Luther' is describing Christ's harmony with nature in this verse, not making a comment on His lack of humanity. The animals are praising, and He accepts their praise.

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

Banning smartphones for kids is a bit like trying to ban cars. We're better helping our kids learn to be safe around cars and in cars by eg wearing seat belts and teaching other drivers to be aware of kids. Banning is unrealistic and unworkable.

Ugh, talk about tone deaf. This and Ian Hislop's account of seeing Welby at a party after he resigned just make me think he really doesn't get the seriousness of all of this: BBC News - Church abuse victims 'disgusted' by Welby's speech www.bbc.com/news/article...

Church abuse victims 'disgusted' by Justin Welby's speech

A survivor of child abuse linked to the Church said he was "dismayed" by the archbishop's statement.
