St John’s College | University of Manitoba - Introduction to Christian Theology
umanitoba.ca
Anybody interested in discovering what Christian theology is all about? Spoiler alert - it's way more interesting than memorizing a bunch of "right answers".
I'm teaching an intro class this winter that's available online or in-person and is super affordable to audit.

There’s some really good stuff in here! Worth checking out.
So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

Oh and it’s just a very dumb question. Important that we all acknowledge that.

I think the Anglosphere is just cooked right now. Bad vibes across the board.
Right now good news for British academia (given last budget not hitting us so bad) is because Australia, the US, and Canada are destroying their academic systems even harder, and Ireland and South Africa and New Zealand aren't big enough to compete, we remain relatively strong in Anglophone academia

The best thing about spending some time reading John Donne this fall has been seeing him routinely choose the unexpected thought, connection, metaphor. So much of our contemporary thought is so predictably “orthodox” to its ideological camp that it’s just boring. Donne is not boring. Be like Donne.

Why do Liberal PMs keep making this same mistake? Trudeau thought he could trade a pipeline approval for a win on the Carbon Tax. He then lost all his AB ministers and we now *checks notes* don't have a Carbon Tax. You can't appease these people, don't bother trying.
In the face of global trade shifts and uncertainty, we’re working to build a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive, and more independent economy.
Canada’s MOU with Alberta will ensure we can advance that mission together.
