Christianity Today<\/a> has published online a short news item about the UK which I wrote for them. The article, entitled Surprise Appointment<\/em>,<\/strong> begins as follows: <\/p>\n

The appointment of Joel Edwards, general director of the U.K.\u2019s Evangelical Alliance, as a commissioner to the nation\u2019s Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has drawn complaints from gay activists.<\/p>\n

Formed to enforce legislation guaranteeing age, ethnic, disability, gender, and sexual preference equality, the EHRC brings together the U.K.\u2019s three previous equality commissions. The Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007, which went into effect on January 1, added prohibitions against treating anyone \u201cless favorably than he treats or would treat others\u201d on the grounds of sexual orientation.

Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience sustain us over a lifetime of change. These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003.

My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer.
