A view of Current Affairs informed by a Religious Tradition
In response to a request on the forums (currently full of - well - tumbleweed) yesterday I put together a few thoughts on why I am looking for regular or occasional writers on current affairs from a perspective informed by a religious tradition (whether one you follow, or understand, or have been formed by, or perhaps even have left behind).
Basically, I think that these are viewpoints that need to have a place in the debate, but currently do not to a sufficient degree. And that means that more extreme views (on all sides) to get more than their fair share of attention.
If you might be interested in writing here, drop me a line at mattwardman at gmail dot com, preferably with a link to something you have published before - and I’ll take a look.

Disappointingly for the straight down the line religious types, this does not represent a recantation by the BHA. Instead, it’s Fun and Frolics on Friday 13th by an anonymous IT wind-up merchant.
