An Introduction to Zugology
Zugology is the theology of balanced Christianity. It is a new branch of theology that overarches all current branches of theology, being the summation of them all. Systematic theology, biblical theology, historical theology, experimental theology, comparative theology, etc. The list goes on. Zugology is that branch of theology which requires the balancing and integrating of …
Common sense from the Supreme Court
For the second time in recent years, the Supreme Court has brought common sense to bear upon the ill-thought decisions of British governments and inferior courts. Just as the Supreme Court struck down the SNP Government's Named Person legislation, it has now struck down the commonly held view that homosexual activists should not be offended …
What is the Establishment Principle?

Naming the sin
Celebrities and public figures who fall foul of the law are discovering at great personal cost the effects of broad-brush accusations and the folly of criminalising sin.

Similarly, there are …
Redefining racism and antisemitism
The current antisemitism furore in the Labour Party is about redefining antisemitism and what people misappropriately call racism. We live in an era that is redefining the most basic terms, redefining marriage and gender by self-declaration, supported by the Prime Minister Theresa May. It is a feature of current society that words are defined and …
Identity politics and perceived racism
Identity politics and perceived racism are combining into an explosive mix. Racism does not exist because there is only one human race. This is one example of the poor use of language in our poorly educated society. Rather, the issue is different ethnicities and how much emphasis one puts upon these. Kenhinde Andrews, the author …
