When the Pope spoke about freedom of conscience in Madrid, he forgot to mention that the Roman Catholic Church has been its greatest enemy for centuries.

Three big events in Spain, Catholic, evangelical, and Pentecostal, and their sometimes unintended consequences.

The facts of what happened this week in Northern Ireland cannot, in themselves, determine our response. They must be interpreted with historical and social awareness, and with Christian conviction and moral clarity.

The encyclical has little sense of the tragedy of sin, sees the gospel as a process in which nature is made more perfect and justifies the Church's role as a mediator between man and God.

Both the left and the right applauded Leo XIV's speech, in an unprecedented event in recent Spanish history.

How can we respond with grace and truth to stories of leaders who fall?

Since becoming Leo XIV, Pope Prevost hinted at his desire to build on Leo XIII’s legacy by updating the Social Doctrine of the Church on the pressing concern of today: how to deal with Artificial Intelligence (AI) without succumbing the human person to it.

A deeply marginalized group, the Roma people have long been considered one of the most widely ostracized people groups in all of Europe. TWR is reaching to show them the love of Christ.

The Church wants to help. However, generosity without a clear understanding of the issue can inadvertently sustain systems that do not serve children as well as we hope. And the evidence on this is no longer ambiguous.

When people are discussing a case like this, Christians can testify to a way that takes justice for all seriously but also seeks to be scrupulously fair and hopes for mercy for all involved.

However much it is expressed in lively, pop-culture language, Staglianò’s theological framework is the old Thomism rejuvenated by John Paul II in the encyclical Fides et Ratio (1998).

States do face real threats and evil can sometimes only be checked by force. But the lesson is clear: war is a profoundly blunt instrument for creating justice, reconciliation or lasting order.

As preachers we need to help people see the simplicity of life, while addressing the complexity of life.

Bishop Andy Lines highlighted the growth of an Anglicanism that is focused on mission and a clear commitment to the “unchanging truth of the Holy Scriptures”. The General Meeting of 2026 marked a milestone in the life of the province-in-formation.

Secretary of War Hegseth’s appearance at Rededicate 250 conservative Christian rally in Washington reinforced the perception that a warrior-style, crusading Christianity is gaining influence in nationalist circles. But this neglects the broader biblical trajectory toward justice, mercy and reconciliation.

The future of missions will not be built by isolated efforts but by partnerships that honour the gifts of each culture and generation.

Leading from a Christian perspective does not mean filling the company with spiritual language, but rather exercising authority knowing that every decision affects real lives.

In this complex world, we Christians are building the church of Christ. And if we truly do so, we will quickly realize the enormous potential it holds for combating racism and polarization.

The vision of human dignity, forgiveness, reconciliation, justice and the equal value of every person before God, profoundly shaped European civilisation over centuries.

Evangelicals do not seem to be on Pope Leo’s radar, aside from a few indirect critical remarks between the lines of his speeches in Cameroon and Angola.

Europe’s true need is not a change of religious label, but the emergence of biblically sound, intellectually serious and spiritually vibrant churches, capable of responding to the moral and existential void of our age.

The challenge, in every season, is the same: to resist the temptation to reshape our calling around what is easier, safer, or more rewarding.

I was a pastor in Turkey and they branded me a political mole. In Spain, they brand me – and us evangelicals in general – as ideological infiltrators serving certain geopolitical agendas.

Last Saturday was ‘Europe’s’ 76th birthday. You hadn’t noticed? Few European nations make much fuss about “Europe Day”, May 9. But it is great to remember the integration that has helped avoided war among EU's nations. 

Christian just war reasoning has long treated humanitarian limits as essential criteria for the moral use of force.
