“We’ve believed that Christianity is declining. It isn’t. We’ve assumed Christianity can’t stand up in the university. It can. Too many of us think Christianity is threatened by diversity.

“Is the software that runs life the result of accumulated copying errors? Or does it require a programmer?

But how was that software created?”

“Those who can are getting out. Those who stay are preparing themselves for more violence. ‘Things are bad more than any other time,’ Fr Behnam Benoka tells me at his church in Bartella, a ghost town protected, if that’s the right word, by soldiers with Kalashnikovs. ‘It’s harder even than before Isil.'”
