Hawking: Not Needed for Creation
Still jetlagged from a summer in California, I am intrigued by the intense media interest in the latest book by British physicist Stephen Hawking and his supposedly troubling pronouncement that 'God was not needed to create the Universe'. I hope it won't be considered too facetious to wonder which newspaper...

Britain's Witch Children

Locked-in Syndrome ... Between Life & Death?
I went to the wedding of two friends on Saturday who, like millions of couples before them, took vows to love and serve each other 'for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death parts us or Christ comes again.'

R.I.P. Raoul Moat?

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Our Cambridge Paper 'Engaging with cinema' argued that 'At their best, films are works of art that provoke ethical reflection and provide a vital point of contact between believers and unbelievers.'
