Easter time reminds us of what power has always looked like

By Eddie Arthur

Among many other things, Easter is an opportunity to reflect on Jesus' relationship to political power. Modern readers of the Gospels and Epistles too easily miss the political significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. Far from leaning into and leveraging political and imperial power, Jesus and his followers are called to righteously and justly subvert it for God's glory alone.

Beware of weaponizing Christianity against immigrants and denying the reality and meaning of the gospel

By Eddie Arthur

Are we seeing the emergence of a new age of crusaders who think Christian nationalism is something to defend for God's sake? Eddie Arthur believes it is not at all appropriate. He goes on to argue that immigration is not the source of problems in the UK context, but it is the source of the revival of Christianity in the nation. In Christ, our eternal future is a multi-ethnic reality not a nationalistic pipe dream.
