A Judge Who Should Be Sacked.

 A judge allowed a 14-year-old boy who stabbed a girl 10 times to walk free from court after telling him prison was the 'last place' for a 'bright lad' like him.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attacked the girl with a six-inch kitchen knife at a shop in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, on March 15 after he asked her out on a date and she said no.

In a brutal attack caught on the shopkeeper's CCTV, the boy, from Wiltshire, grabbed her forcefully and stabbed her multiple times as she tried to flee.

He was handed a three-year restraining order and a 12-month referral order after admitting to wounding with intent, inflicting grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article in a public place

Something Good Will Emerge.

 

From Acts 26. What horrors the Apostle Paul must have faced with his conscience!

 9) “I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10) And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11) Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.

Paul: Perhaps The Greatest Christian Conversion In History.

 12) “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13) About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14) We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,[a] ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

15) “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16) ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. 17) I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18) to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Pastor Jin.

Hi. We are delighted to invite you to a special online event featuring guest speaker Pastor Ezra Jin. Focus on China Thursday 19 November, 7–8.15pm GMT (Online) You may already be familiar with Pastor Jin’s story. He was detained in October 2025 as part of a coordinated crackdown on Zion Church – one of the largest unregistered churches in China. He was one of 18 church leaders formally arrested on charges of ‘illegally using information networks’ because of their innovative hybrid church model meeting online and in person. Nine leaders were released on bail in June. Then on 4 July, after 266 days in prison, Pastor Jin was released and reunited with his family in the US. Reports indicate that his release followed high-level discussions between the Chinese and US governments. Now we have the opportunity to hear directly from Pastor Jin as he shares first-hand about his detention and release. We will also stand with the other Zion Church leaders who are still in prison or on bail, facing unjust charges. Together, we’ll pray and share practical ways that you can make a difference through your gifts and messages of encouragement. Register for Focus on China I look forward to seeing you there. Grace and peace,

Update Päivi Räsänen.

Dear ...., Tried in 3 separate courts. Convicted as a criminal. Denied entry to the UK. Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish parliamentarian, doctor and grandmother, has been paying the price for so-called “hate speech” for the last 7 years – simply for expressing her Christian beliefs. It began in 2019, when police opened an investigation into a tweet in which Päivi shared a Bible verse. Two years later, she was charged under a section of the Finnish criminal code titled “war crimes and crimes against humanity”. This March, Finland’s Supreme Court acquitted her over the tweet but convicted her over a church booklet she wrote about marriage and sexuality more than 20 years ago. Later, in July, Päivi was informed that her Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) needed to travel to the UK had been cancelled. Päivi, represented by ADF, has now filed her final appeal at the European Court of Human Rights. The Court's decision will shape whether Christians across Europe can speak and write about their faith without fear of criminal punishment. Päivi said: “As a Member of Parliament and a Christian who has faced censorship and years of criminal investigation, I am profoundly aware of the devastating consequences of curtailing basic liberties. The European Court of Human Rights must decisively uphold these freedoms and promote the common good across Europe.” If you have ever shared your faith online, spoken up in your church, or taught your children what you believe, this case is about your freedom too. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Päivi so that she, and others like her, can be free to speak openly about faith without fear of criminal punishment. Your gift helps ADF support her at this crucial stage of her appeal. STAND WITH PÄIVI AND FREE SPEECH NOW With gratitude, Alliance Defending Freedom

I Shall Not Comment.

A pair of Anglican professors have urged the Church of England to undergo a radical restructure in order to stave off financial disaster and to revitalises parish churches.

Canon Robin Gill and Professor John Craven set forth their “ruthless” plans in Wasted Money in a Diminishing Church, a report published by the Centre for Anglican History and Theology at the Universities of Kent and Christ Church Canterbury.

Gill is Emeritus Professor of Applied Theology at the University of Kent, while Craven is a former professor of economics.

The report argues that far too much money is spent at the diocesan level, often at the expense of the regular parish. It is estimated that diocesan staff numbers have almost doubled from 1,300 in 2005 to 2,300 in 2025. Just under 10 per cent of the current roles at the diocesan level are related to safeguarding.

It is not only staff numbers that have increased. The number of dioceses has nearly doubled from 22 in 1800, to 40 today. Meanwhile, the number of bishops is quadruple what it was in the days of Victorian Britain.

The report argues that such growth - which has not been accompanied by a corresponding growth in churchgoing - represents not just a waste of Church money, but contributes to a cycle of decline that hurts and demoralises those at the parish level. CT.

Reopening.

A shuttered church in a low-income housing community in northern England has reopened for Christian worship nearly 15 years after its doors closed on Christmas Day.

St. Luke’s Community Church, located in the Swarcliffe estate of Leeds, held its first Sunday service in 15 years on Sept. 6, led by the Rev. Hannah Jones, vicar of the newly formed Anglican Parish of Swarcliffe and Whinmoor, according to an Oct. 26 report by the Church of England.

Southwell Minster is seeking urgent financial support to keep its doors open after decades of underinvestment that has left it needing around £20m to safeguard its historic building and grounds.

The Grade I-listed Minster is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, and has served Nottinghamshire for more than 1,000 years.

The present Minster was built between 1108 and 1290, replacing an earlier Saxon church, and became a cathedral in 1884.

The Dean of Southwell, the Very Rev Dr Stephen Evans, said the cathedral does not have the money needed to maintain it, with discussions underway with the Church Commissioners, the Charity Commission and other agencies. CT.
