We are strange: God is stranger

Catalogue No GB09-67

2009: Standing in the Long Now

Bookshops are full of argument and counter-argument between atheists and Christians, but what could theology actually learn from a 'new physics' that has given us parallel universes, multiple dimensions and all manner of quantum strangeness?

A plea for Christian piracy

Catalogue No GB09-68

One and Other

Catalogue No GB10-42

2010: The art of looking sideways

From noisy neighbours to nervous political coalitions, fears about immigration, racism, fundamentalism and international terrorism - our fear of engaging ‘the other’ is at the heart of so many of our problems.

Pirates of the Charism

Catalogue No GB10-43

2010: The art of looking sideways

Admitting that there are strangenesses in myself, in God and in other people, how can we practically work out better ways of becoming, as one theologian put it, ‘the kinds of selves who live in harmony with others’? Among others, pirates - with their ‘short and merry lives’ - may hold some clues to better engaging ‘the other.’
