Not sure if you read “Christianity” magazine, but they have had an “agony” column for the last few months which has addressed mostly sexual issues and has caused a storm of debate on the letters pages about their suitability in a “family” publication. The topics covered are among those least likely to be heard in a sermon but very important for christians to think through.
I am dubious as to whether “Inspire” has the nerve to take up either of your suggestions.

Thanks for the comment Rachel. I don’t read Christianity so I was unaware of this. How very interesting.
Inspires does not claim to be a family magazine – it is for everyone, but I could easily imagine the same kind of debate.
The most interesting thing about the kind of reaction that you describe is that people seem to be saying that such topics should not be discussed in a family setting. I’ve a feeling that this is a particularly strong view in the UK and very different to what seems to be the case in, for example, the Netherlands, where there would be a presumption that the family was exactly the right place for open discussion.

Rev F (50), small rectory, seeks clergy-wife /scrubber to keep house tidy, prepare meals and listen after a long hard day. GSOH essential.

Almost new liturgy (one careful Methodist owner) seeks a church for meals and occasional companionship. Comes complete with canonical approval and Guild of Servers certification. Affectionate, but a little nervous with children and Archbishop Drexel Gomez. No Anglican Hymn-book time wasters please.

25 Questions for people who want to make churches grow
Do you have a decent church website? Is it up to date? Is it responsive – ie does it work on mobile phones? Does your own online profile feature your ideas and hopes and dreams other than a desire for people to turn up to church? Do you know what you are doing with twitter…
