What is Prayer? - Stephen Cottrell (2018)

‘The will to pray is the essence of prayer’ wrote Thomas Merton, and ‘the secret of prayer is a hunger for God’. Stephen Cottrell describes himself as ‘an experienced beginner’ at prayer who has never got much beyond this, but says his long apprenticeship has taught him that the beginning and end of prayer is the longing to know God and to be known by God. But for many people profound questions remain. Is God really listening? Does what we pray affect what God does? Also, why is it that everyone...

Democracy And The Common Good: Alternatives To GDP

What is Growth, and how do we measure it? The journey from poverty to prosperity is widely measured by and credited to the growth in a country’s GDP. But what if there is more to consider? What about the needs which this doesn’t address – a healthy family life, civic participation, and freedom from discrimination or exploitation? Using Christian Aid’s An Unquenchable Thirst report, St Paul’s Institute and Christian Aid brought together a panel of experts in economics, business, social metrics an...

The Gate Of Heaven: God At The Crossing Place - Tricia Hillas (2018)

We all have crossing places in our lives - moments on which our life turns. A new baby, leaving home, a bereavement, a new job or country, a medical diagnosis. These ‘liminal’ times – thresholds between one life and another – are often times of uncertainty, waiting and not knowing, but are also precious because they can open us up to a new closeness to God. Richard Rohr has called them ‘a unique spiritual place where human beings hate to be but where the Biblical God is always leading us’. Trici...

My Soul Glorifies The Lord: Jesus' Female Disciples - Helen Bond & Joan Taylor (2018)

The traditional story of the birth of Christianity is dominated by men. It is often thought that Jesus only chose men to be his disciples and apostles, but evidence suggests that this is really only half the story. Were female disciples in fact crucial to the Jesus movement? Profoundly scandalous at the time, the idea remains highly controversial 2,000 years later. Two distinguished early church historians will present research that shows as many as half of Jesus’ disciples were women. They say ...

Jesus and the Promise of Peace - Nadim Nassar (2018)

After the Resurrection, Jesus says to the disciples Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. We tend to think of peace as the end or absence of war but Nadim Nassar says that Jesus is talking about something far more radical than that: a whole culture of peace. It is about how we bring up our children, how we flourish in our homes, workplaces and churches, and ultimately about a call to a self-giving culture of love in which we see the reflection of God’s image in the other. Father Nadim ...

Buying God: Consumerism And Theology - Eve Poole (2018)

Many people are deeply concerned about global capitalism and rampant consumerism, but many of us also lack the tools to be able to engage confidently in the debate about its future. Eve Poole is a theologian who has worked in the financial services industry, and she argues that the Church has crucial things to say about the economy and a vital role to play in redeeming the marketplace both at home and abroad. She will offer new ways to think theologically about consumerism and suggest how we mig...

Was Jesus Political? - Selina Stone (2018)

We live in extraordinary times. How can we think and act as Christians in response to the urgent, sometimes overwhelming politics that we experience every day? Where do politics, theology and faith meet? And how is it that different Christians can hold completely opposing views, all claiming the gospel as their inspiration? One way to think afresh about this is to look at Jesus’ own actions and teaching, ask whether they were or were not political, and what we can draw from that for our own enga...
