        Are you a generalist?

        CMF Global is hosting a series of interactive online training modules. These will be collaborative, with teaching, small group work, questions and feedback.

        Built on the Rock is a series of webinars for resident doctors.

        In a rapidly changing cultural landscape, we often feel caught in the tension between our Christian faith and a secular workplace. The NHS and wider society seem to be increasingly at odds with biblical principles or even faith in general. But how can we, as Christian doctors, navigate this cultural divide while staying true to our faith? 

        In this series, we’ll explore some of the questions we face as a Christian in modern medicine, including: 

        • How do I stay faithful to Jesus when cultural pressures clash with biblical truths? 
        • What does it look like to engage with critical theory, postmodernism, and secular ideologies in healthcare? 
        • How can I advocate for life when the ethics of abortion, euthanasia, and patient care are hotly debated? 

        We’d love you to join us in this series of online talks on the first Monday of the month where we’ll provide foundational biblical principles to help us wrestle with the big questions life and medical practice can pose.  

        Next session:

        Monday, 12 May 2025 | 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm on Zoom

        Faith in Flux: Understanding religious deconstruction and crafting a compassionate response (Kristi Mair)

        About the upcoming session

        A growing number of once-committed Christians are questioning their faith, leaving the church, and even identifying themselves as ‘exvangelical.’ Why are they walking away and what can we do about it? This session unpacks the faith deconstruction movement, provides a biblical analysis, and suggests ways Christians can respond.

        Kristi Mair is a Lecturer in Philosophy and Ethics at Oak Hill College, London. She teaches various subjects, including public theology, ethics, and epistemology. Kristi has written a short book on truth (‘More>Truth,’ 2019). She is passionate about engaging the church and the world in its questions so as to grow a healthier faith rooted in a deeper appreciation and understanding of theological ways of knowing.

        Encountering God in ordinary places 

        Where was Moses when the Lord appeared to him? Well, he wasn’t in a religious building, a temple, or a designated place for worship. And it wasn’t on a holy day. He wasn’t seeking God or expecting to meet him. And yet, on an average day in the wilderness, whilst tackling the unglamorous job of herding sheep, God catches his attention. And he encounters Yahweh right there. Right then. In his ordinary place. 

        Fast-forward to 2025. Do we still expect to meet God in our everyday? Could we notice him at work in our staff room culture? Could he reveal himself to us whilst we’re in the sluice? With reports showing that nurses and midwives are working in increasingly toxic environments under high stress levels, it might feel like we’re in a sparse wilderness. But we are not alone. At NAMfest, we have an opportunity to slow down, make space to worship and reflect, as well as pray and eat together with like–minded Christians. As we hear testimonies from members across our fellowship, we hope that faith will rise in us again to expect to meet God in our working environments.

        Join us for an unmissable weekend of biblical teaching and fellowship for Christian healthcare workers and their families! 

        Hold fast – navigating cultural storms with Jesus 

        In the rapidly shifting landscape of twenty-first-century healthcare, Christian doctors and nurses in the UK face unique challenges that test their faith, integrity, and professional calling. There is increasing pressure to compromise our values and more restrictions on our Christian freedoms. The temptations are either to blend in or to withdraw. 

        The lives of Daniel and his companions were shaped by a firm conviction of the sovereignty of God and confidence in his ultimate victory. They exemplified a balance that is crucial for us today, staying faithful to God while actively contributing to the world around us. We are similarly called both to stand firm in our convictions and to engage fully in the society in which we live. 

        In three talks, our speaker, Peter Saunders will examine Daniel’s resolve to stand firm in his identity, his reliance on God for wisdom, and his boldness in witness, even in the face of trials. Peter will look at how this enabled him faithfully to navigate the ethical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of serving God in a ‘Babylon’ hostile to his faith and values. 

         

        Speaker: Peter Saunders is a New Zealand-born general surgeon who worked in NZ and Kenya before doing theological training at All Nations Christian College, UK. He left clinical medicine in 1992 to serve for 27 years with the Christian Medical Fellowship, 19 as CEO. During this time, he also spent 13 years in end-of-life advocacy as Director of the Care Not Killing Alliance. Since 2019, he has been Chief Executive of the International Christian Medical & Dental Association (ICMDA), bringing together 107 national associations of Christian doctors and dentists worldwide.

        4-6 July 2025

        London School of Theology, London

        Are you involved or interested in global health and mission?

        Keen to both share and learn from lessons in the past but consider how European-trained healthcare professionals can partner in medical mission in the future?

         

        Who should come?

        Perhaps you have been engaged previously in global health and mission work? Come and learn how needs are changing – share your experiences and learn how you could remain interested and involved.

        And what if you are just starting out in your career in healthcare? What a perfect time to come and learn with other European colleagues some pointers for effective collaborative ways of working with national colleagues in global health and mission

        We will have mission leaders helping us think biblically on such issues, clinical practitioners from whom we can learn, agencies that can facilitate your journey, inspiring stories, and come with your questions, concerns, hopes and dreams!

        Christians across Europe will be gathering to consider how we partner in medical mission today. This event will be hosted in north west London, with easy access to tube lines from central London and to Heathrow or Luton airports.

        Book soon for cheaper prices!

        Dates: Monday 15th-Wed 17th September 2025 (5pm Mon till 2pm Wed) 

        Venue: Highgate House, Northamptonshire, Grooms Lane, Creaton, Northampton NN6 8NN 

        This three-day residential conference takes place at a new Christian centre in Northamptonshire, offering ensuite accommodation, meals, refreshments, inspiring talks, diverse seminars, and activities – all set in a beautiful and peaceful environment. 

         

        This conference is for Christian doctors, nurses, and midwives who are approaching retirement, reducing clinical commitments, or already retired – seeking to embrace this new season with purpose, joy, and a deepening call to shine for Christ. 

         

         Shining ever brighter – navigating new seasons of calling with purpose and joy  

         We pour so much of ourselves into medicine – our time, energy, and sense of purpose. But as the shape of our work changes, whether by reducing clinical commitments or stepping into retirement, how do we continue shining ever brighter in God’s calling (Proverbs 4:18)? How do we stay fresh and fruitful in this next stage (Psalm 92), invest in others through maturing and mentoring (Titus 2), and navigate the physical realities of ageing while keeping our eyes on grey hairs and glory (2 Corinthians 4)?   

         

        This conference is an opportunity to reflect, pray, and plan for what’s ahead – letting go with grace, stepping forward with purpose, and shining ever brighter each day in God’s unfolding story.  

         

        Speaker: Chris Green is the vicar of St James, Muswell Hill, in north London. An experienced Bible teacher, speaker, and author of around a dozen books, he’s also approaching this next season himself. He wants to do more than paint some paintings and walk the dog! In three sessions, we’ll explore what the Bible has to say about this transition and consider some practical ways to serve God fruitfully beyond employment. 

         

        Talks: 

         

        1. Psalm 92:1-15 Fresh and fruitful – How to approach a healthy next age 
        1. Titus 2:1-15 Maturing and mentoring – What might best fill our diaries? 
        1. 2 Corinthians 4:1-18 Grey hairs and glory – Physical realities and our wonderful future

Why helping a few women will harm many more: the untold cost of creating three parent embryos

It seems ironic that while ten or so women may be helped each year to have embryos free from mitochondrial disease (yes, the numbers are that small as a Government ‘estimate’ admits), many hundreds of other women will be put at real risk of harm to help them achieve this. There is a deafening silence […]

Why Lord Carey is so desperately wrong about legalising assisted suicide

Lord Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, has surprisingly come out today in favour of Lord Falconer’s Assisted Dying Bill which is due to have its second reading in the House of Lords on Friday 18 July. Falconer advocates licensing doctors to dispense lethal drugs to mentally competent adults with a life expectancy of less than six months and a […]

Oregon – steady annual increase in assisted suicide cases sounds warning to UK

Lord Falconer wants to legalise assisted suicide for adults who are mentally competent and have less than six months to live based on the ‘Oregon model’. Since assisted suicide was legalised in Oregon there has been a steady annual increase in the number of prescriptions written for lethal drugs and in numbers of people killing […]

Twelve reasons to think twice about going the Oregon route on assisted suicide

Lord Falconer’s Assisted Dying Bill, due for a second reading in the House of Lords on 18 July, is purportedly based on the US state of Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act (DWDA). Dignity in Dying, the former Voluntary Euthanasia Society, who are backing Falconer, claim that everything is wonderful in Oregon. But is that really true? Over […]

Freedom of conscience in medicine is under sustained attack but is worth fighting for

I have previously highlighted the case of two Glasgow midwives who were disciplined by their NHS Trust for refusing to participate in abortion. Their Trust was found to be in the wrong by the Scottish Court of Appeal and the case has been referred to the UK Supreme Court where a further hearing is still awaited. A single […]

Might the large disparity in premature birth rates between black and white women be partly explained by abortion?

Prematurity is associated with a wide variety of health risks. In the UK, 7.8% of babies are born prematurely (60,000 per year) and this number is on the rise. The total cost of preterm birth to NHS is £2.9 billion a year, equivalent to that of smoking, alcohol and obesity. Reducing the rate of preterm […]

Three-parent embryos – an orange light doesn’t mean Go!

  Any sub-heading to this blog post could ask a further question: ‘why should we be concerned about this issue anyway? After all, what’s not to like about new techniques that could stop a horrible disease, that seem to be safe (enough), that only involve manipulating a tiny bit of DNA on a tiny embryo […]

Why are men more in favour of abortion?

Most people assume that abortion garners more support from women than men. This is probably because being pro-abortion is seen as a pillar of feminism and calls to reduce abortion limits are usually attacked as being, in some way, a ‘war on women’. As one feminist claimed recently, any stance which seeks to limit women’s […]

Offer of sex change drugs to nine year olds should make us question therapists’ ideological presuppositions

Children as young as nine are to be prescribed drugs which delay the onset of puberty as the first step towards a sex change operation (Mail on Sunday and Daily Telegraph). Doctors at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust said a trial of the treatment on ‘gender dysphoria’ patients aged 12 to 14 had […]

Saving the NHS

Last Thursday the think tank Res Publica launched a report into the state of the National Health Service, and proposed that a greater role for mutual societies might be key in building a sustainable health service for the future.

Talking about death – the importance of openness about one of life’s certainties

About two thirds of the way into Alexander Payne’s 2011 film The Descendants, Matt King (played by George Clooney) walks calmly into the hospital room of his comatose wife, Elizabeth. He closes the door gently and then proceeds to excoriate her for controlling and messing up the lives of everyone around her. This powerful scene […]
