The Vatican has signaled it may be open to ecumenical dialogue with the new, conservative breakaway Global Anglican Communion, a move that would upend decades of Catholic-Anglican relations centered on the See of Canterbury, the English church’s historic “first among equals.”
Church of Ireland bishops at odds over GAFCON
The Church of Ireland has been drawn into the growing global Anglican rift after two diocesan bishops publicly endorsed GAFCON’s rejection of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s authority.
Gen Z Church Attendance
...what to make of the recent reports of younger generations now making up the largest constituency attending church?
Saving Our Sons: Why the Church Must Reach the Young Men Lost to Red-Pill Religion
At the center of this shift is Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), who outpace every other generation in average monthly church participation, [3] according to Barna Group. With this generational role-reversal, one can’t help but wonder… where are all these young men worshiping? If massive spiritual revival really is happening in the United States, why are Mainline Protestants still in decline? If younger generations, particularly men, are becoming more religious, then why does anecdotal data suggest that revival among young men is isolated to Christian traditions that explicitly forbid women from access to leadership?
Russell Moore sounds alarm about evangelicals accepting Nazis
Add Russell Moore to the list of evangelicals warning about how too many conservatives are warming up to antisemitism and Nazi nostalgia.
The Christianity Today columnist and former head of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission wrote a stout column Nov. 5 headlined, “The Church Better Start Taking Nazification Seriously.”
Antisemitism is surging on the right and left. Jews are stuck in the middle.
This is not a contest of whose bigots are worse. Rather, it is a race for who will clean house first.
Fascism Expert Says: Combat Authoritarianism Before It’s Too Late

Gen Z’s brains are ‘growing around their phones’ the way a tree warps around a tombstone, ‘Anxious Generation’ author warns
A global public health emergency driven by the swift transition from a play-based to a phone-based childhood has created a “global destruction of human flourishing” among young people, according to social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. The Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at NYU Stern, speaking at a recent Dartmouth–United Nations Development Program symposium on youth well-being, argued that children born after 1995—Gen Z—are fundamentally different from earlier generations because they experienced puberty amid omnipresent smartphones and social media.
Does a Transient Lifestyle Stunt Discipleship?
Have you ever met a new family, found that you became quick friends, and then, within a few short years, had to say goodbye as they moved away to pursue a dream or a job opportunity? Many of us have. Indeed, one of the challenges with making friends today is that people don’t stay in one place for long. Unlike most before us, we (at least in the West) can relocate thousands of miles with relative ease. In our individualistic, career-oriented culture, constant motion is the norm. And while I’m convinced the ease of relocation is a gift, something worth celebrating about the modern age, I’m also concerned that it’s hurting our ability to foster deep relationships, particularly in the context of a local church.

Expand Your Family at Church
Jesus’s promise of a family extends beyond the nuclear unit. This vision of family is built not on a shared bloodline but on the shed blood of Christ. The hundredfold family doesn’t come by way of marriage or birth but by being adopted into the family of God through Jesus’s sacrifice (Eph. 5:1).
