A full and inspirational day so far at #SST25 #SST2025 - Margaret. kamitsuka’s plenary paper on deferred desire, skilfully integrating John 20, Song of Songs, and artistic portrayal of Mary meeting the Risen Jesus left much to ponder on.

Fab first day at #SST2025 with a paper on the Eucharist and trauma by David Grumett and a brilliant response from my wonderful PhD student @revdwillrm.bsky.social

More flesh and blood theologies tomorrow…

We’re about to go live for #SST25. Some excellent papers and some great speakers lined up.

A disappointing result at the Champion Hill stadium where the difference in quality between 1st place Dartford and 18th place @dulwichhamletfc.bsky.social was just too great. Always a good afternoon either way.

First time worshipping at our ‘home’ church since Christmas, after a series of opportunities to lead and preach with Lynley in various other places. All a privilege, as it was to enjoy the freedom to gather in worship today. Mindful of those who do not enjoy such freedoms.

If you want an antidote to Christian nationalism, the sermon from today’s BBC Sunday Worship (Radio 4) for the Feast of Christ the King is spot on.

Pretty miserable afternoon, both weather and performance, at Champion Hill, but always good to support our local team regardless. @dulwichhamletfc.bsky.social

They don’t seem to have a budget for clearing the streets of snow in Exeter. You’d think there’d be some sort of… slush fund.

Hi friends, as we are new to this platform, we need to rebuild our network from the other place. Could y'all help us out a bit? A little bit of crowd sourcing can go a long way! Do share our profile with those in your networks who you think might be interested the Divine work we do here in Aberdeen!

In today’s theology news, a very worthwhile time with NTC colleagues talking about how to engage with the work of lapsed/disgraced theologians. No easy answers, but a rich conversation.

It’s only Wednesday and already a week of cultural extremes: Zadie Smith on Monday at St Martin in the Fields; band practice at Bromley Salvation Army on Tuesday; Paddington at Dulwich Picture House this evening.
