Protestant church magazine rebrands after confusion with Reform UK party

• A Protestant church magazine, formerly named Reform, has rebranded to Reformed to avoid confusion with the political party Reform UK.
• The United Reformed Church (URC) announced the change for its national publication after 86 per cent of readers supported a new name in a poll.
• Editor Stephen Tomkins stated that readers were experiencing “consternation in local churches” due to the magazine's name being mistaken for the political party.
• The URC emphasised that it is not attached to any political party and does not want its magazine's name to suggest otherwise.
• The URC's stances on public issues, such as migration and asylum, are often at odds with Reform UK's policies.
