The Spanish Evangelical Alliance opposes the inclusion of abortion as a constitutional right

The Spanish Evangelical Alliance (AEE) has made its position public in the debate sparked by the proposal to include abortion as a fundamental right in the Spanish Constitution.

In the case of the recent encyclical, we do well to appreciate it's biblical view of humanity and pointing to Jesus Christ, because the possibility of a completely unregulated AI future is frightening.

  • From rainbow flags to national flags

    As mass demonstrations blend Christian imagery with nationalist politics, questions grow concerning how Christians should respond to Christian nationalism. But the issue has more to do with elements of faith aligned with politics more than competing theological interpretations. Peter Lynas wonders if the latest UK shifts are a new expression of an old problem.
