It was good of him, since he knew we would use his words in our marketing copy. We have used them not sim...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/apr-2012-/editorial/featuring-faith.aspxThu, 08 Mar 2012 11:26:35 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/apr-2012-/editorial/featuring-faith.aspxFeature articles in Third Way usually have a quite specific remit. Whether we cover economics, society, culture or politics, our aim is to present the reader with a Christian viewpoint on a topic that will have been engaging them in the secular media. So in recent months we have looked at the shibboleth of perpetual economic g...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/mar-2012/editorial/thinkers-different.aspxWed, 08 Feb 2012 11:11:21 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/mar-2012/editorial/thinkers-different.aspxWe are less than two years into the Coalition government, but the significance of the next election is already beginning to affect the political agenda. Politicians inevitably have one eye on their future electoral chances, but it is beginning to look like the next time they go to the polls will be unlike any they have faced previously...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/janfeb-2012/editorial/pillars-of-faith.aspxWed, 08 Feb 2012 11:10:59 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/janfeb-2012/editorial/pillars-of-faith.aspxA  year ago we brought you news from Egypt - before the Arab Spring got underway. On New Year's Eve a church in Alexandria had been bombed by Islamic extremists. Twenty-five people had been killed, and the year started with great fear for Egypts Copts. But a campaign started that received little coverage here in the UK. The Egypti...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/dec-2011/editorial/a-tent-shun.aspxTue, 15 Nov 2011 10:59:30 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/dec-2011/editorial/a-tent-shun.aspx'If men and women can be trusted, without risk of infinite mischief, to meet together for religious purposes, why not also for secular?' wrote the Guardian in 1871. It was referring to a decision by St Paul's Cathedral to admit only men to its weekly lectures. Women were excluded, said the then Canon Gregory, because it would prevent t...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/nov-2011-/editorial/state-of-the-nation.aspxFri, 21 Oct 2011 11:41:55 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/nov-2011-/editorial/state-of-the-nation.aspxThe truth is that I have not spent as much time preparing this month's editorial as I ought. And while one of my excuses will perhaps pass muster in some quarters - a newborn in the household - the other - the Rugby World Cup - is something I must admit only shamefacedly.

And equally difficult to miss have been the people revelling in the discomfort felt by News International executives. Common among the reaction has been the insistence that the revelations have been unsurprising - that we alwa...]]>http://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/julaug-2011/editorial/take-care.aspxTue, 14 Jun 2011 12:14:50 GMThttp://www.thirdwaymagazine.co.uk/editions/julaug-2011/editorial/take-care.aspx'The word "blood" has symbolic significance in many different spheres' says Caroline Berry in her precise piece on the importance of haemoglobin. And, as a geneticist who has spent her life in science, it's no surprise to see that the language in her article is rather different to what might have been used by those of us more familiar ...]]>
