The Feast of St Thomas is, to me, a feast for autistic folks. He needs more information. He needs to touch — to let all his senses engage with a new and awesome truth, which re-makes the fabric of his reality. Christ honours his sensory-seeking, boundary-breaking act of faith.

Just finished the final session of "#Quaker #theology and whiteness" Woodbrooke. The wisdom in the room was overwhelming! What a privilege to share my ongoing #PhD research in this way, with such an engaged group.

Finally submitted my journal article “Thicc Theologies Save Lives” - had a lot of fun writing about the Shulammite woman in Song of Songs as an alternate thread of body-loving revolution in Christian tradition

I’ve been experimenting with a hybrid spirituality which I've called a “patchwork” and “queer” approach to faith. Having read Adrian Thatcher’s "Vile Bodies" (2023), I’m wondering if “dirty” is another appropriate word. jollyquaker.com/2024/07/25/dir… #queer #quaker #theology

I'm on my way to #BYM2024 Britain Yearly Meeting Looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones, reading the Bible with other Quakers, and shamelessly flogging a few copies of my new book. collectiveinkbooks.com/christian-alte… #quaker

Some personal reflections from the recent Yearly Meeting of #Quakers in Britain #BYM2024 jollyquaker.com/2024/07/31/ref… #Quaker #theology

Well said total respect ✊ for this man #UKRiots #FarageRiots

To those planning the far-right protest on August 17th in Birmingham: do not come into our city. Your hate and violence have no place here. Birmingham's strength lies in its diversity and multiculturalism. We stand united and proud against you.

There’s something about calling out racism that upsets people. Watching Zarah Sultana MP treatment this week reminds me of this. Politicians have a responsibility not to indulge in language that fuels hate. Politicians from all sides have failed. I fear we're seeing the results.

I was sadly prevented this week from speaking at a #Quaker event on hope. Here's what I would have said: jollyquaker.com/2024/08/22/qua… #theology

A good back-from-holiday haul! Portable microphones so I can take Quake It Up OUTSIDE 😱 And a sneak peak at Mark Russ new book ‘The Spirit of Freedom’ (OUT IN NOVEMBER, GUYS) 🤩 Just LOOK at that cover!

Quakers, seeing every Friend as a minister, often decline to provide practical and emotional support to people who have experienced a call to a life of sustained public ministry. One group has launched a new initiative to address the problem. friendsjournal.org/new-initiative…

I wish there was something like this in Britain. It would totally change my sense of belonging within the #Quaker community.

Four Queer Quakers walk into a podcast recording studio... "Queer Quakers Concerned about Climate Change" is no joke, but we do have fun! I listen on #spotify and Quakers Today podcast is available on all podcast platforms. open.spotify.com/episode/19INqb…
