UK Correspondent Charles Gardner says faith-perspective account of past wars inspires challenge to view Iran conflict through God’s eyes With echoes of British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s statement on the current Middle East conflict that “this is not our war”, I have been reading of a very different response […]
