The first Christians did not embrace a 'slave morality' of the bullied, as Nietzsche said.Ā They thought they'd already won! Christ's death & resurrection convinced them that they could overthrow empires - without power - merely through prayer, persuasion, service, and suffering.

Iā€™m in Nashville, recording the wonderful Egyptian Coptic singer Katy Erskander for the First Hymn project, incorporating a nearly 2000 year old melody and lyric into an amazing contemporary song ā€” ā€œto the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ā€¦ the Only Giver all of good gifts. Amen.

Contemporary science came from medieval science, or ā€˜Natural Philosophyā€™. And Oxfordā€™s Alister McGrath, who knows a thing or two about the subject, reckons modern science has much to learn from its medieval forebear. Fascinating stuff!

I'm a foreigner - so what do I know - but this was the most fair-minded, illuminating conversation about American sociology and politics (specifically, white rural Trump voters) I have ever heard.

I think there might be a renaissance of Christianity in the next 10 years. This is partly because I see strong signs of disillusionment in secular culture and partly because I think many will see that Christianity offers the most coherent account of science, ethics, and meaning.

This day between Good Friday and Easter Day has its own traditional name, meaning, and set prayer in the Book of Common Prayer. ā€œEaster Evenā€ is a time to reflect on burying our wayward ā€œaffectionsā€ before enjoying Christā€™s resurrection.

Iā€™m wearing my Good Friday t-shirt today, which contains an exact stencil of the earliest depiction of Jesus on a cross. Itā€™s the Greek word ā€˜crossā€™ (stauron; accusative) as written by the scribe of our earliest copy of Lukeā€™s Gospel, Papyrus 75, circa AD 200. The scribe cleverly
