Ask me something about Jürgen Moltmann or Eberhard Arnold. Amateur linguistics observations. He/him. Aotearoa New Zealand. RTs are cheats for Goldeneye 007.
Been working with Plough over the last few months to launch this research grant. If you're interested in 20th C theology, Anabaptism, churches under Nazism, Christianity and nonviolence, etc.--this is a great opportunity! Please let others know!
We are excited to announce the launch of our first Eberhard Arnold Research Grant to stimulate academic interest in this important historical figure. See this page for more details: https://t.co/eHJlgqHTJ4
Check out this eleven-part series that we've just published on Eberhard Arnold's book Inner Land. It can be read alongside the book as a reader's guide, or as a standalone introduction. @CameronCoombe3

“For Moltmann, Christ’s crucifixion is God’s decisive entry into human suffering – and not in order to explain or justify it, but first to suffer in solidarity alongside human beings. Only then can we also speak of hope.” @CameronCoombe3

@SteveDewJones@johnmilbank3 True, and I think at least the first three, though I don't know if we've really begun to address shame until quite recently.
Congratulations to Sam Tomlin who worked very hard on this piece (speaking as someone who saw behind the scenes!) to produce an original and informative contribution to Salvation Army and Bruderhof history!
Pleased to have my first peer-reviewed article published - looking at the historical & spiritual links between the Salvation Army, @eberhard_arnold & @TheBruderhof in the Journal of Ecclesiastical History - out today.

@RobSchebel73664 Thanks, it's always interesting to read approaches I'm not familiar with, even if I'm unlikely to agree with them. I probably won't get around to it, but I'll have to remember if I ever want to probe the topic more deeply
Does anyone else have a visceral dislike for honorifics and titles? Dr., Prof., Rt. Hon., Your Honour, Your Majesty, Sir, Ma(d)am, Father, Lord, etc. It's like their ultimate function is to indicate that the person being addressed is worthy of more respect than others.
@BozierMaureen I'm a holder of a doctor title, and although I worked hard to get it, there are people who have worked a lot harder than me who aren't qualified to carry titles
@adclarkhoward I'll maintain them, and more sympathetically in white-nonwhite interactions because of the history and power dynamics, of course, but I'm quite happy to admit that this is a universal dislike of mine, regardless of cultural context.
@adclarkhoward True! To be completely honest, I still don't like it, and I wouldn't be surprised if these widespread distinctions have historically caused problems within their respective cultural contexts either.
