The post A Christian revival is under way in Britain appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Justin Brierley, Spectator: Tom Holland recently invited me to attend a service of Evensong with him at London’s oldest church, St Bartholomew the Great. Holland, who co-hosts the phenomenally popular The Rest is History podcast, has been a regular congregant for a few years. He began attending while researching Dominion, his bestselling book which outlined the way the 1st-century Christian revolution has irrevocably shaped the 21st-century West’s moral imagination. It also recounts how Holland, a s ..read more

The post The Church of England’s bureaucracy has forgotten its mission appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Sarah Ingham, Conservative Home: Polly and Gerald entered a packed church last weekend, delighting the congregation which was celebrating Palm Sunday. Trampling on the palm fronds scattered across the aisle, the two donkeys behaved impeccably as they brought to life Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem. In contrast, on this Good Friday, the mood in the church today is fittingly sombre and reflective. Few Church of England churches are as blessed as this one: three services on Sunday, a Dir ..read more

The post Only God may have the answer to the smartphone mental health epidemic appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Fraser Nelson, Telegraph: A new book exposes the link between phones and misery. So why might religion offer protection? The Shabbat dinner table is more important to Judaism, I was once told, than the church is to Christianity. The ceremonial handwashing, the welcoming of angels, the paean to the women, the singing: it’s no less of a ritual than commemorating the Last Supper and something I’ve long wanted to see. When I was finally invited to one last month, I thought I wa ..read more

The post Is the Church of England still ‘the Conservative Party at prayer’? If not, why not? appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by William Atkinson, Conservative Home: Over the last year or so, I have taken to occasionally attending services at St Bartholomew the Great, London’s oldest church, in the heart of the City. I had bumped into the Rev Marcus Walker – the rector and Critic columnist – at party conference. He invited me to his church’s monthly ‘Evensong in the City’ services, skewed towards such sympathetic but busy young professionals like myself. As a self-described agnostic Ang ..read more

The post The true Saviour of the whole world appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Julian Mann, TCW: THE Prayer Book reading for today, Good Friday, from John’s Gospel reveals the profound irony in Pontius Pilate’s refusal to change the inscription on Jesus’s cross from a declaration of objective truth to a subjective claim. All four New Testament Gospels record the inscription on the cross but John’s is the only one to relate the controversy over it: ‘And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews. This title [was ..read more

The post Jesus’s Burial Defied All Expectations appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. By Petar Nenadov, TGC. At the close of Friday, there was hurried activity. The Sabbath was approaching. All four Gospel writers tell good news before the good news. They tell of an unexpected triumph before the unexpected triumph. There are many important details in the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus that only one or two of the Gospel writers tell. So we should take notice when all four heralds draw our attention to the same story. New Person After Jesus died, we’re intro ..read more

The Source of All Blessings

The post The Source of All Blessings appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. By Fr Benedict Kiley, European Conservative. The Cross is the most awful sign the world has ever known, and the only sign that brings victory and hope: “In hoc signo vinces.” Most people know the apocryphal story of the person who goes into the jewellery store and asks for a Cross, to be questioned by the assistant, “one with the little man on it, or without?” An urban myth, perhaps, but remembering Tolkien’s point about myth and truth, it is highly likely that in the deeply secularised West, there are many who know n ..read more

The post The BBC cares more about Asian aunties from Bradford and a rapper called Big Zuu than it does about the Greatest Story Ever Told appeared first on Anglican Mainstream. by Quentin Letts, Daily Mail: This is Holy Week, the most sombre, ultimately dazzling seven days in the Christian year, but you would not know it from our national broadcaster. On Good Friday, the day that marks the Crucifixion, BBC One will be showing Wallace and Gromit’s Were-Rabbit adventure and a 2021 American comedy, Ghostbusters: Afterlife. That will be followed by some drama about a clairvoyant. If you suspect B ..read more
