In my fourth article I discussed how the coming of 'home medical mission' to London in the 1870s intersected with the remarkable Dr George Saunders and his first retirement from military medical service.

The first article in this series traced the remarkable birth of the Christian Medical Association (CMA) in 1853-4.

Caring for the sick has been a feature of Christianity ever since its inception. [1] Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan to show that his disciples should care selflessly for those in need, whoever they were.

The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: 'Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.' (Joshua 10:6) During the night Paul had a vision of...

Golding Bird and the Christian Medical Association (triple helix - Spring 2022)

CMF was founded in 1949, and 2024 will be its 75th anniversary. However, its roots go back much further, and there is plenty to learn from the people and organisations that came before it. In the mid-19th century, Charles Dickens was at the height of his career, and Queen Victoria was...

Assisted suicide: the onslaught continues (triple helix - Spring 2022)

In recent months there has been continual pressure to legalise assisted suicide all around the British Isles. In Westminster, Baroness Meacher's bill had its second reading in October, with an excellent seven-hour debate; it is unlikely to progress beyond Committee stage.
