The pair has taken up counselling sessions with Carl Lentz, a 38-year-old pastor at the church Bieber attends in New York, Hillsong.

According to celebrity magazines in the US, the two performers have been at odds over efforts by Bieber to seek reconciliation with ex-girlfriend Hailey Baldwin.

TMZ reported Bieber was reaching out to Baldwin as part of a new faith-driven “open and honest” approach to life, while People magazine quoted a source who said Gomez “wasn’t thrilled” by the idea.

Bieber, who has become increasingly vocal about his Christian faith since he was baptised four years ago, shared on social media earlier this month how he believed Jesus was “changing” him.

Last month, Mr Lentz told US Weekly magazine he believed the 23-year-old Canadian has a “really deep, mature relationship with Jesus”.

The Church’s 12,500 parishes are each holding, on average, four services – including 1,000 Nativity plays and 28,000 carol performances.

More than 56,000 events have been registered on A Church Near You, the Church’s smartphone-compatible website inviting people search for nearby services by entering their post code.

Head of Digital Communications at the Church of England, Adrian Harris told Premier: “It’s really lovely to have this resource in place so that we can bring people into relationship with God and [tell them about] the birth of his son at this special time.”

A Church Near You also allows users to find a church which matches their requirements in terms of provided facilities, such as disabled access.

They’re also invited to seek out churches which provide things like mulled wine, a choir or mince pies.

Adrian Harris added: “If you put in your post code, town, village or city, it will take you through to a map and it will show you all of the churches near you.

“After services… we’ve got 6,500 churches serving mince pies and we’ve got over 4,500 serving mulled wine, so we’ll be very sure of a warm welcome at a Church of England church this Christmas.”

The website forms part of the Church of England’s Renewal and Reform strategy for sharing the Christian faith on digital and social media.

Mr Crabb (pictured) and Chris Pincher were cleared by a panel headed by an independent QC of breaching the Conservatives’ code of conduct.

Amid a tide of Westminster sleaze allegations in October, Mr Crabb was reported to have admitted sending explicit messages to a 19-year-old woman he interviewed for a job.

The party found that while the former cabinet minister’s behaviour fell short of the party’s standards and was “inappropriate”, it “did not constitute harassment”.

Mr Pincher stood down from the whips’ office and referred himself to the Tory complaints procedure following Mail on Sunday reports that he had been accused of making an unwanted pass at former Olympic rower and Conservative activist Alex Story.

Mr Pincher told the newspaper in November: “If Mr Story has ever felt offended by anything I said then I can only apologise to him.”

Referring to Mr Crabb’s case, a Conservative Party spokesman said: “Following an investigation, a panel headed by an independent QC has concluded that Mr Crabb’s behaviour did not constitute harassment.

“However, it found that his behaviour in this matter was inappropriate and fell short of the standards the party expects.

“The party chairman has reminded Mr Crabb of the need to adhere to the spirit and letter of the code of conduct at all times. He accepted this unreservedly and has made a full apology.”

On Mr Pincher, the spokesman said: “Following media allegations,…

The evangelist praised from Tastries Baker in Bakersfield, California for standing up for her beliefs, despite the prospect her business could be forced to shut.

While a judge refused a bid by the state government earlier this month to force the firm’s closure unless it reversed its stance, the case continues – with another hearing due for February 2018.

Franklin Graham wrote on his Facebook page: “I appreciate the fact that Cathy Miller stood up for her beliefs…

“We need to pray for Cathy and for our religious freedoms to be upheld.

“The courts should never be able to force Christians to go against what the Word of God teaches.”

The 65-year-old accused members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community of trying to force believers to embrace their lifestyles.

He went on to say: “It ain’t gonna happen.

“God calls homosexuality sin – take it up with Him if you don’t like it.”

“As a Christian of course I don’t hate gays, I love them and want them to know the truth.

“If they choose to live that lifestyle, they certainly have the freedom to do so in this country-but don’t tell me what I have to believe or participate in.”

Franklin Graham’s new remarks are likely to add strength to calls among LGBT advocates that he ought to be prevented from attending a rally in Blackpool next year.

A number of Lancashire MPs have expressed concern over the visit, while more than 7,000 people have signed a petition…

Whilst considering the late Playboy Magazine founder somewhat a father figure when she was grappling with an eating disorder, Andrea Logan White said she eventually realised that only God, not Hollywood, could “fill the void”.

Speaking to Fox Radio News, she said: “Somehow, God used him [Hefner] in that world to really get me to a point where I realised this is not fulfilment; this is a lot of deception.”

The 39-year-old said God did not force her to accept him but allowed her to encounter a darker side of showbiz – including exposure to drug use – before she decided to change.

Describing her experience at the lavish gatherings which made Mr Hefner’s home infamous, she told Fox News Radio: “Everybody was half-naked, [with] breast implants, [they were] ascetically perfect.

“You see celebrities… playmates… that was my ‘normal’ because I walked into that; I did not have a faith then”.

White, who has since become a co-owner of the Christian studio behind the God’s Not Dead films, said her path drove her to contemplating her very own existence and it was an emotional breakdown in her car which prompted a transformation.

She described the moment as a “crazy answered prayer” when, while she was sobbing in her vehicle, another driver recommended that she listen to a Christian radio station.

During Lauren Green’s Lighthouse Faith podcast, she said: “I turned the radio…
