Building housing areas involves a lot of money. Earning or losing causes stress, which makes corruption more self-evident. Chiara Lamberti writes about this from Italy.

Italy has its first case of legal euthanasia. The western region of Tuscany decided on a law for assisted suicide in February this year despite the conservative views of the national government. The Constitution Court has given its approval in 2019 already.

Despite its conservative government, a child can now have two mothers in Italy.

When we think of Italian families, many of us imagine a lively scene: parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins, and children all gathered around a lavishly set table having a traditional family meal. However, recent data paints a very different picture.

Many parts of Rome were blocked the week after the Pope’s death. And the whole country was expected to be five days in mourning. But as an evangelical Protestant, Chiara Lamberti prefers to live in a genuinely secular state.

The Bible provides us with wonderful stories to celebrate Easter with children, columnist Chiara notes. A column about how common people are types of Christ.

As Christian parents, we are busy with shaping our children’s character. However, we less often consider how the Lord uses our children’s presence to shape and refine our own character.

Last weekend, we had a church retreat. With a large group from the church, we spent three days out of town at a beautiful facility surrounded by greenery.

Italy does not have rules for religious clothing at schools. As a result, the case of students from religious minorities are abused for political gain, Chiara Lamberti writes.

As a working mum, Chiara does not always have the time to play with her children. Many parents feel guilty about this. But work and the family are no enemies of each other.
