Dear Friends,
Monday, it is two weeks since an Islamic
terrorist carried out a suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena
following a concert by American singer Ariana Grande. A wave of emotion
spread through the city, the nation and around the world.
Though I no
longer live in Manchester, it is where I was born and
spent much of my adult
life. In the light of that I have added a new item to my blog which I
believe offers several considered reflections on how society can
understand
and respond to such events.
You can read it at:
http://www.amen.org.uk/mancunian
There are also several PDF versions
(with a selection of font sizes) linked
from the bottom of that
page.
Occurring as it did in the run up to a General Election, this
bombing has had a significant impact on British society. No doubt
yesterday evening´s attack in London by what seems to have been a group of
Islamic young men will also leave
its mark as the authorities try to solve
what is a very difficult issue.
Again we are witnessing the inability of
secularism to understand the challenge of Islam, never mind knowing how to
respond to it. I have therefore updated my Relevant Reprises page with
articles from my archives which are relevant to
present events. That page
now links to the following three essays:
11th September 2001 - A Clash of
Two Post-Christian Cultures? [2001]
Who Rules - Man, Allah or Christ?
[2001]
Do Nations Reap What They Sow? [2015]

I hope you find my latest post helpful.
Comments and questions are welcome as always.
Finally, can I remind
you as previously that if you know anyone else who would like to receive
future alerts directly, please ask them to email me at

In Christ
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
