As someone who has a theology degree but is often confused (what exactly is the hypostatic union, again?!), & as a mum who's often interrogated by a curious 6-year-old about big ideas, I absolutely loved this new pod from the delightful Kaitlyn Schiess podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cur…

Such a painful and brutal read, and something so many have experienced, but feel like they can't talk about. Mothers deserve better than this.

This is a really beautiful book; profound and wise, and you should pre-order it 👇🏾

Years ago I listened to or watched an extraordinary talk about kindness - I think it was given at the The RSA and it was about the speaker's experience being cared for I think by a nurse or midwife in a hospital. Does anyone remember this? I can't seem to find it

Ruth Samuels has created some beautiful portraits of care workers. Great work from Fiona Handscomb in making this happen. You can see this and other portraits at the Theos Think Tank launch of Hannah Rich's report: Love's Labours on Tuesday. Tickets here: loveslabourslaunch.eventbrite.co.uk

Care: a noun and a verb. But who cares, and who will care in the future? Come to this event to find out. (Of interest to Hilary Cottam I hope!)

Delightful to do this with Esther Higham and Chine McDonald for PremierChristianNews. Welcome Richard Dawkins aboard the #shipoffools !

This is a long, thorough, honest, and perceptive review of Catherine Nixey's recent book on the origins of Christianity by Prof. Markus Bockmuehl. Well worth taking the time to read. theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…

Very early on Sunday I was on BBC Radio 4 to talk about Richard Dawkins saying he’s a “cultural christian” alongside Chine McDonald .

Oh, and it was fun being promoted to 'Dr McDonald' a few times by Edward Stourton! 😄

ICYMI: I was on BBC Radio 4 Sunday yesterday morning, speaking alongside Joy Marie Clarkson ☀️ to Edward Stourton about Richard Dawkins' 'cultural Christianity' - first item here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… Theos Think Tank

10yrs ago today, on our first date, Mark McDonald created a reconstruction of his office layout on the cafe table. He turned out to be more interesting (most of the time), although we did create a child who makes me read books about drones to him at bedtime 😭 #NotAtAllBoring

'We desperately need politicians willing to acknowledge that assisted dying is one of the most complex and fraught ethical questions they will ever be asked to confront.'

Will likely be on BBC Radio 4 Sunday live tomorrow morning talking about this 👇🏾
