Timed to impact local elections. Lives, justice, dignity traded for our votes. The instrumentalisation of everything. The trade in lives for power.

Frank Field, may he rest in peace and rise in glory. A singular figure in British politics of our era & a man willing to think for himself. Whether one agreed or disagreed with him (I did both) we need politicians willing to think what they are doing and think for themselves.

Dear friends, seek your prayers for strength, wisdom and grace as I prepare for the consecration Canterbury Cathedral on the feast of Mark the Evangelist🙏🏾

That’s #SST24 wrapped up! We’re already making plans for our next two conferences so pop the dates in your diary & we’ll back at Warwick:

#SST25 Flesh and Blood Theologies: 7-9 April 2025

#SST26 Theology: A Discipline of Failure? 13-15 April 2026

See you there!

It was a theological feast in the last few days! Praying all our #SST24 attendees a safe trip back home. See you at #SST25 , to talk about fresh and blood theologies!

We’re talking prayer, sin & systematic theology SST. Prof Karen Kilby responded to the oft cited Evagrian saying that ‘the theologian is the one who prays’ and conversely, identifying the danger it reinforces academic elitism and its basic falsity as a statement. #SST24

Our plenary panel chair Ash Cocksworth introduces panelists Karen Kilby (@CCSDham), Lauren Winner (@DukeDivinity), and Al McFadyen (@LeedsPRHS), and urges us to ponder the themes of prayer, sin, and systematic theology, connecting with the #SST26 theme failure.
