IN THIS ISSUE . .

Have you been enjoying the hot weather?  I have. When the sun is out and the sky is blue, we get the opportunity to bask in glorious sunshine and praise our Creator for blessing us with such beautiful weather.  These moments of enjoying God's wonderful world can sometimes bring very human flaws, bad attitudes and painful experiences into focus. This month's magazine deals with some of these and how they can be overcome.

Rachel K Brown explores the roots of anger, its cause, effects and ways to deal with it. Clive Lewis presents a powerful case for churches to utilise mediation to heal church rifts and Amie Buharie provides some pointers on how churches can combat loneliness amongst youth.
 
Gladys Famoriyo encourages Christians to undergo a spiritual spring clean to get rid of 'emotional clutter' in their lives, Stephen Brooks explores the issue of church unity whilst Dionne Gravesande looks at football's hold on society and asks should it be regarded as a religion? And I look at the very thorny and contentious issue of submission within marriage and relationships.
 
There is also the usuals, Heart to Heart,  Gospel News, Charity Affairs and news. Finally how can we forget Muyiwa, currently Britain's leading gospel artist who is featured on our front cover. Our in depth interview sheds light on some exciting developments in his burgeoning ministry and his plans to help other UK artists.     
 
Happy reading.

For over 50 years Britain's black churches have provided hope, support, direction, community services, inspirational gospel music and moral guidance to the black community and beyond.  Due to their longevity and the social and spiritual impact they have on their members, black churches are viewed as the most stable, prosperous and influential institution within Britain's African and Caribbean communities.

Such is the high regard in which black churches have been held in recent years, some of the most powerful and influential members of society have visited them personally to see what the fuss is all about. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was a special gues at Ruach Ministries in Brixton, south London and HRH Prince Charles attended Jesus House in Brent, north London on his birthday in November 2007.  Other prominent visitors to black churches have included civic leaders, MPs, local councillors, heads of charities, community service providers, business leaders and educationalists.  All are keen to engage with the black churches because they recognise the influence they wield amongst their constituency, and are also aware that its members are amongst the most educated, prosperous and aspirational people within the black community and are desirous to enlist their support for their endeavours  Marcia Dixon
