Comments by readers

Readers are encouraged to join the conversations and add their comments to the articles. Please keep comments succinct. Full (real) names are required for comments. We reserve the right not to publish or to remove remarks we judge to be aimed at antagonism or 'trolling'.

Comment Code of Conduct (based on Sojourners' code):

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Ethos online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree — even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will hold others accountable by reporting comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)

I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Ethos staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)

Monday, 29 January 2018
 | Rex Dale

Botton describes journeys as ‘the midwives of thought'. Writing with considerable sensitivity to the human condition and unafraid to deal with the rawest of emotions, Botton explores what we do or think about on our travels, how travel might enhance our lives and give us a larger vision, and how to minimise disappointment.

Monday, 29 January 2018
 | Ian Hore-Lacy

Dystopia Now: the present reality of Children of Men

Thursday, 14 December 2017
 | Karly Michelle Edgar

Children of Men may feel like an extreme scenario, where a corrupt government keeps its citizens, especially the rich, safe and the refugees out. A government where some human beings are worth more than others. But if this year has shown us anything it’s that this isn’t some dystopian, futuristic movie plot. This is the present.

As Christians rally in support of refugees, a need to acknowledge the cause

Wednesday, 6 December 2017
 | Mick Pope

Saturday, 11 November 2017
 | Mick Pope

It’s not about self-flagellation, guilt or shame, but about waking up and stepping up. It’s about restorative justice that lifts people up, and right living that prevents us from falling into sin. I need to be saved, not from skin, not from gender, but from the throne of privilege.
