Brexit<\/h2>\n

We lead on Brexit, where madness has taken hold of our politicians. We went to press last Thursday 2nd May, before the results of the English local council elections were in.<\/p>\n

As we know, a week is a long time in politics. \u00a0Right now, even a few days is a long time. Nevertheless, one prediction we made has already come true.<\/p>\n

We said: \u2018The Foreign Secretary has said it is an \u2018absolute priority’ for the government to leave the EU by 23rd May to avoid having to take part in European elections. But it is not going to happen.’<\/p>\n

Just two days ago<\/strong><\/a>, as our newsletter was being printed, Mrs May’s deputy David Liddington MP confirmed the Government had run out of time to get any kind of deal through. \u00a0He said: \u2018The UK will have to hold European elections’.<\/p>\n

We also predict the Conservatives’ talks with Labour will fail. \u00a0We say: \u2018And make no mistake about the function of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. It is not there to bail out the Government. It is there to oppose, to call to account, to be elected into government itself. \u00a0Above all, Jeremy Corbyn does not want his fingerprints on Mrs May’s Withdrawal Agreement, thank you very much.’<\/p>\n

Divorce<\/h2>\n

We report on how the Government has ignored 80% of respondents to its divorce consultation, who wanted the concept of fault to stay. It will go, along with any ability to contest a divorce. But we point out that the \u2018substantive issues’ of property and residence of children is already decided on a no-fault’ basis.<\/p>\n

We also explain the differences in Scottish divorce law from that in England & Wales and Northern Ireland. \u00a0Furthermore, we observe that people have a desire for justice. \u00a0Above all, it’s the divorce itself, not the acrimony, as the Government have been persuaded by the divorce industry, which does the damage to the prospects for children.<\/p>\n

Finally, we show how the Government proposals will reduce marriage to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. \u00a0Every marriage will last until one party says, \u2018You’re dumped’.<\/p>\n

As with the Brexit issue, we give relevant scripture references, prayer points and show how to write to your MP.<\/p>\n

Relationships and Sex Education<\/h2>\n

The Government also ignored respondents to their Relationships and Sex Education consultation. Their new guidelines have now been passed by both houses of Parliament. They come into force in September 2020. We acknowledge the single good point about them: \u00a0Schools \u2018must’ consult parents.<\/p>\n

However, the Government determination for schools to promote deviant lifestyles trump rights of parents. These were set out in the House of Lords by Lord Mackay of Clashfern. \u00a0You will want to read his masterly analysis. You’ll also be encouraged that there are men like Rev Dr William, Lord McCrea, in Parliament, standing up and quoting scripture.<\/p>\n

But we are clear that parents now have only the nuclear option of removing their children if schools simply will not listen to them. Moreover, we cannot leave it all to the Muslims. So this author will gladly come to your church to set out the issues from a scriptural perspective and encourage pastors and parents to \u2018fight for your sons and daughters.’<\/p>\n

Christians under fire<\/h2>\n

We have articles on how Christians are being sacked for expressing orthodox views both here and the other side of the world. A rugby player and a teaching assistant are dismissed. \u00a0Meanwhile, the gay lobby have been flexing their muscles over Evan Robert’s chapel in Wales. You’ll want to read about that. \u00a0On the bright side, you’ll be encouraged by the force for Christ that is the group of Pacific Islands.<\/p>\n

Beyond Foreign Aid<\/h2>\n

The faith of the President of Ghana will also encourage you, as we urge you to pray into Ghana’s godly attempts to break free of foreign aid. \u00a0God honours those who honour him, and Ghana has refused to allow the UK to decide its policy on homosexuality.<\/p>\n

Indeed, David Cameron’s threats to make aid dependent on pro-sodomy policies surely acted as a spur to the Ghanaians to do without it and move \u2018beyond aid’. But will the West allow Africans to add to value to raw materials like aluminium and iron ore and cocoa and coffee beans?<\/p>\n

Major abortion conference<\/h2>\n

However, the other side of Africa feminists and pro-abortionists are gearing up for a major conference in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. \u00a0It’s 25 years after the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994. \u00a0Now United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) are convening the Nairobi Summit.<\/p>\n

In the Newsletter, we commend the UNFPA for its efforts to eradicate female genital mutilation. However, we take serious issue with its \u2018women’s empowerment’ agenda. It sounds good, but it’s based on lies and aims to divide women from men. Reality check: most of us live in families! The other emphasis is on \u2018reproductive rights’. Yes, that’s code for abortion on demand. Much prayer will be needed, and we give scripture references and action targets here as well.<\/p>\n
