There has been increasing openness to the gospel among university students in the UK this Autumn, the UCCF has reported.
One unbelieving student attended an Abertay Christian Union (CU) lunchtime talk on ‘Lasting Joy’. Afterwards he said: ‘If this is true, you have a genuine hope for eternal happiness. If it’s not, you still have an anchor that allows you to find joy in this life – I find that exhilarating!’

First birthdays are special, and for an Essex
‘church in the home’ – its first birthday
marked an encouraging year despite the
pandemic.
Cornerstone Church
in Colchester, an
Anglican church, began on 18 October 2020
under the oversight of Anglican Mission in
England (AMiE). It has coined the phrase
‘… starting in the home, sustained in the
home!’ to reflect the church’s conviction of
the value of meeting in the home.
