What tumultuous times are they in which we live? Not so longer ago in Australia, it was a criminal offence to engage in homosexual sex. But if a proposed bill in Victoria regarding ‘conversion therapy’ is passed, it will be a crime to persuade -- [...]

People regularly refer to "the Judaeo-Christian culture" in conversation; but many of them, when questioned, are unable to say exactly what it is. I think it is important that we have a coherent story if we are going to defend our way of living. I [...]
