Part 4: Living Water. Do you ever wonder if God has a plan for your life? Julia Mourant says that God calls each of us, with all our gifts and vulnerabilities, to contribute our gifts to the world and to each other and so find life in all its abundance.

Recent political developments in the West have led many to question whether liberal politics is in terminal decline, replaced by a polarised and polemical discourse that breeds exclusion and resentment. St Paul's Institute series 'Democracy and the Common Good' seeks to ask how a common good approach can be applied to certain spheres of public policy to help shape an inclusive society which better reflects the values of the people in it. With the help of an audience of 90 students, Harvard Philo...
Part 2 - Isaiah. What can the Old Testament prophets teach us? It’s easy to think of them as remote and severe, but Janet Tollington says they can continue to speak to us vividly, not always telling us what we want to hear but always bringing good news.

We will look in particular at Isaiah, a collection of writin...

Many of us have big questions that the Christian faith seems to leave unanswered. If God is both compassionate and all-powerful, why is the world full of suffering? Why does God seem to sanction genocide in the Bible? If God is always present, why doesn’t it feel like that? Krish Kandiah says that we need to look questions like these in the face, and that not doing so is neither healthy for us nor honouring to God. He says that the paradoxes that seem as if they ought to undermine belief are act...
