When the Elder Calls—From Outer Space
Billy Adkison, 91, spent his life farming in East Texas; he never wanted to go to outer space.“I don’t want to be higher than pulling corn and lower than digging taters,” he told CT.All the same, he has watched the skies from his yard to catch a glimpse of the International Space Station passing by—“like a big old star,” he said.Adkison wanted to keep an eye on one of his church elders, astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore, whose weeklong trip to space

Queensland’s Anti-Discrimination Review
via acl.org.au
In September 2024, the Miles Labor Government passed its Respect at Work and Other Matters Amendment Act into law. Its most contentious anti-discrimination provisions were due to commence in July 2025, but the incoming LNP Government paused full implementation after the ACL raised serious concerns with the Attorney-General’s office regarding the impact on churches, Christian schools…

Seize the Opportunity. Ask the Hard Questions. Make a Difference.
via acl.org.au
The Victorian Legislative Council is more than just the Upper House—it’s the House of Review. It scrutinises legislation, holds the Government to account, and often determines whether controversial laws pass or fail. This term, no party has held a majority in the Legislative Council. As a result, the Government has relied on crossbench parties—including the Victorian Greens…

Abortion training on campus: What’s happening at Curtin’s Midwifery Clinic
via acl.org.au
A university health clinic in Perth is now offering chemical abortions to the public and training its student midwives to provide them. That should stop us in our tracks. Curtin University’s Midwifery Clinic, run out of its health sciences faculty, has begun offering medical abortion using the MS-2 Step regimen. The service is delivered by trainee midwifery students under the…

A Man Is Fighting to Enter a Women’s Prison. Self-ID Made It Possible.
via acl.org.au
A man convicted of violent offending is fighting in the courts right now for the right to be housed inside a Western Australian women’s prison. Two years ago, this would have sounded like a hypothetical. Today it is a live legal case, and it is a preview of what Labor’s Gender Self-ID legislation makes far easier from here on. Correction: An earlier version of this article stated the…

Kirralie Smith loses appeal – ordered to pay $95,000
via acl.org.au
Last week, Kirralie Smith lost her appeal in the NSW Supreme Court. Her offence? Criticising males playing in women’s soccer. I can’t overstate how outrageous this decision is. Not only is it yet another denial of reality, but the sum involved is extraordinary. According to John Steenhof from the Human Rights Law Alliance, successful vilification claims have traditionally attracted…

Religious Freedom on the Line: NSW’s Anti-Discrimination Review

This week, the NSW Law Reform Commission released its second major consultation paper as part of its review of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977. How this Act is written matters because it impacts protections for religious freedom in our state for both Christian organisations and individuals. This is especially true for our Christian schools, churches, and charities…

Canberra’s Funding Thousands of Abortions
via acl.org.au
On 23 April 2023, the ACT Government proudly announced it would be the first jurisdiction to fund abortion. Canberran women would be able to access free medical abortion up to nine weeks and surgical abortion up to sixteen weeks. The Government committed more than $4.6 million to taking innocent lives. Since that day, my conservative estimate is that approximately 4,400…

ACT Taxpayers Now Funding Free Sex Descriptor Changes

While Canberrans struggle with soaring housing costs, grocery bills and power prices, the ACT Government has found another priority for taxpayer dollars. From 1 July, it is now free to change the sex recorded on ACT birth certificates and other identity documents. Applicants can also choose from a wide range of gender descriptors, provided they meet a handful of basic requirements.

Queensland’s Broken Adoption System
via acl.org.au
In 2023-24, Queensland recorded fewer than 10 domestic adoptions, despite more than 12,700 children living in out-of-home care. This is not because there are no children needing permanent homes, nor because there are no families willing to provide them. It is because the current system is burdened by delay, duplication, and unnecessary red tape. ACL is advocating for reforms that put…

Died: Bill Pannell, Black Evangelical Who Raised the Issue of Racism
Bill Pannell, a Black evangelical who pushed white evangelicals to recognize their captivity to the culture of American racism, died on October 11 at age 95. The evangelist and seminary professor argued that the Good News is all about reconciliation—between God and humanity, but also horizontally, between people—and Christians are called to the ministry of reconciliation. But white Christians who claimed the name evangel, he said, could only seem to muster occasional interest in

How Messianic Jews Are Serving Israelis Displaced by Hamas and Hezbollah

So did the other 350 residents of Israel’s only Messianic Jewish moshav.Sitting on a pine-covered ridge about ten miles west of Jerusalem, the Yad HaShmona community has lived in steady tension over the past year of war with Hamas in Gaza—now extended against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

My Friend, Bill Pannell
I first met the late William Pannell in 1993 in a hallway of Christianity Today. I was in my early 20s, just a year removed from graduating college. Dr. Pannell was visiting his old friend, former CT president Paul Robbins, and the pair was on a leisurely tour around the office. I remember being enthralled by this dashing Black man in a tailored suit, his throaty laugh echoing around the building. Excited to see a young Black editor on CT’s payroll, Pannell greeted me with that winsom

What Are Parents For?
In his 1990 essay collection, Wendell Berry considered the question “What are people for?” The answer, in true Berry fashion, is a beautifully intricate web of answers that add up to human flourishing. That flourishing is connected to the flourishing of the environment around us, and this answer also has deep theological roots. God’s promises in the Old Testament repeatedly revolved around blessing the land and the people together, not separately. We flourish when pla

Died: Jack Iker, Anglican Who Drew the Line at Women’s Ordination
Jack Iker, a Texas bishop who took 48 congregations and 15,000 parishioners out of the Episcopal Church USA and helped start the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), died on October 5. He was 75.Iker was a conservative Anglo-Catholic who made common cause with evangelicals—whom he called “strange bedfellows”—in order to fight against liberal theological revisionism. He was especially opposed to the ordination of women. He would not accept women as priests in his dioce

Why Can’t We Talk to Each Other Anymore?
Years ago, I taught a Bible study that I knew would be controversial. I was a couple years into seminary, and my church asked me to join a team of teachers for the weekly women’s Bible study. We were going through Genesis, and I received the sign-up sheet after everyone else had already selected their texts, leaving me with one option: Genesis 18–20. Next to the chapters listed on the sheet, it simply read, “Sodom and Gomorrah.”Though I was mildly horrified by my assignme

How Priscilla Shirer Surrenders All
Priscilla Shirer remembers the advice she got earlier in her ministry career: You cannot do a thousand things to the glory of God, but you can do one or two.“I’ve never forgotten that,” she said. Each season of life, she prays and discerns what priorities she believes God has laid out for her. Whatever doesn’t align with those is a “no for now.”“This is not always easy,” she said. “No, it’s a constantly saying, ‘Lord, please help

Church Disappointment Is Multilayered
Why are people leaving the church or their faith behind? Some answers boil down to platitudes, like a supposed desire to pursue a sinful lifestyle. But apologist Lisa Fields has found the reasons to be much more complex.Fields, founder of the Jude 3 Project, which equips Black Christians to know what they believe and why, has sat across from many people leaving the church. During these “exit interviews,” she’s discovered that somewhere in nearly every story lurks the specter of

Which Church in Revelation Is Yours Like?
Revelation is often interpreted out of context based on current concerns and fearful speculations about the end times. But after a study trip to Turkey—and years of teaching Revelation at my local church in Rome and for conferences—I have come to realize how contextual the book is.Throughout Revelation, John of Patmos uses powerful imagery to exhort early Christians to resist conforming to the Roman world and to encourage them to remain faithful to Jesus in a world of rival rulers an

Evangelicals for Harris Asked to ‘Cease and Desist’ Billy Graham Ad
The ad begins with a clip of Billy Graham, wearing glasses, a gray suit and tie, leaning in toward a pulpit.“But you must realize that in the last days, the times will be full of danger,” Graham declares. “Men will become utterly self-centered and greedy for money.”Suddenly, a clip of former president Donald Trump is spliced in. Standing before a row of American flags at a campaign rally in Des Moines, Trump says: “My whole life I’ve been greedy, gre
