St Helen’s may have to leave
St. Helen’s Church in Bishopsgate in the City of London, one of the largest conservative evangelical Anglican churches in the UK, has said that it will feel forced to break from the Church of England if the next Bishop of London has liberal views on sexuality.
The announcement of the next Bishop, to replace Lord Chartres who retired recently, is expected soon.
Syria: rescuing Christians
The generosity of British Christians who saved a penniless Jewish child from Nazi-occupied Austria has prompted support for a rescue mission to save Christians from death at the hands of Islamic State.
Lord Weidenfeld arrived on a Kindertransport train in Britain in 1938 with only a few shillings in his pocket. Now aged 94, he is helping Barnabas Fund to rescue up to 2,000 Christian families from Syria and Iraq and resettle them elsewhere.
