THERE has been much discussion of the Bible Society’s report of a “quiet revival” of churchgoing, particularly among young men (Features, 15 August). The new generation are much less likely than the baby-boomers, or even the millennials, to describe themselves as atheists. But, for the rising generation, that progress seems to have ended, or even gone into reverse. Many young people now experience the world as a troubling, enigmatic, and sometimes dangerous place. This is “full-fat” Christianity, and those of us who preach and teach in more middle-of-the-road settings need to pay attention.

It is being moved, with the entire Arctic town of Kiruna, to escape subsidence from an iron-ore mine. Built in 1912, the church has been voted one of the country’s best-loved buildings. Its 3400 buildings — their upkeep supported by the State — were “often located in places where fewer people live and are less and less in demand as places of worship”, he wrote. The House of Good reports published by the National Churches Trust, on the “social value” of church buildings, are an example of the alacrity with which such demands receive a response. “It is with great reverence that we have undertaken this project,” the manager of the Kiruna church move told The Daily Telegraph.

The Epoch Times’ leader has been charged in the US in a multi-million dollar money laundering scheme involving the organization.

The same tactic was used yet again by The Epoch Times in the run-up to the 2025 federal election. The Epoch Times was not registered as a third-party advertiser during the election, a potential violation of the Canada Elections Act.

A failed hit woman from Wisconsin convicted of attempting to assassinate a man in Birmingham, England, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for her part in the plot.

President Trump often says that he has resolved multiple wars since taking office in January and that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. “I’m averaging about a war a month,” Mr. Trump said in July in Turnberry, Scotland. On Monday at the White House, during talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine aimed at moving toward a peace deal with Russia, he referred to “six wars that I’ve settled.” On Tuesday, in an interview on “Fox and Friends,” he said he had “solved seven wars,” though he did not specify which one he had added.
