Northern lights above the @RiponCuddesdon chapel. Rather less visible than this to the naked eye, but captured nicely by my phone’s camera

Preparations for Holy Week in the @RiponCuddesdon admissions office. Of COURSE we have a baby rabbit!

Our Lecturer in New Testament @Doc_R_Dean recently contributed a fascinating piece to @Reform_Mag ' A Good Question', this month's being: Did Jesus cast out real demons? https://t.co/FGQQDfaWl7

My favourite Bible verse.

[Journal of Art in Society @artinsociety]

Back in the 12th century, French sculptor Gislebertus carved this angel as (s)he appears to the three Magi as they dream, & wakes one with the delicate touch of a finger (Cathedral of St Lazare at Autun)

There are definitely worse places to experience insomnia than @RiponCuddesdon 🩵

Love this idea!

For those who would like to know more about the intersections between theology and digital technologies such as AI, you might like to start with my review of @maggisb25 and @DrJohnReader's edited volume on Postdigital Theology. Review link is here: https://t.co/MgGPB0u4c3

Do feel free to get in touch with me about our new Caleb stream. I'm always happy to have a conversation about which of our ordination training pathways and independent student programmes might be the best fit for you.

[Ripon College Cuddesdon @RiponCuddesdon]

Details of our new Caleb stream are now available on our website. Look here for more details https://t.co/MmqupTMNa9 and blessings on all those exploring their #vocation

Looking forward to speaking on 'strange things' in the Acts of the Apostles for the Peterborough Theological Society this evening

Excellent start to the @Humanimal2023 conference with Beth Berkowitz's presentation on kinship with and between animals in the Hebrew Bible. Quick break to rescue one of my own kin from the delights of the British weather, and now looking forward to New Testament presentations.

Grappling with the puzzle of our calling as Christians, thanks to @SanjeePerera1’s wisdom and challenge at the @RiponCuddesdon Quiet Day today. (Apart from a bit during the middle of the day, when I grappled with the challenge of student admissions instead…)

Some timely reflection on 'good' conflict, and how we might move beyond 'us and them'/'win or lose' thinking: https://t.co/BFukFKvPYT

Our next Open Day will take place in Cuddesdon on Saturday 4th February. This is a chance for prospective ordinands (and their families/supporters) to learn about our residential, context-based and part-time training pathways. You can book a place here: https://t.co/DfHU8qXJpJ

@SorrelMayWood Thanks, I enjoyed this. Partially serious extra musing: maybe the Bible is right about the talking animals? A post-human reading of the text might encourage us to listen harder for the voices (however expressed) of the rest of creation - both in the Bible and in our lives 🙃

[Rebecca Dean @Doc_R_Dean]

@GeorgeReeves94 @stg_edgbaston So sorry George. This is really upsetting.

[Rebecca Dean @Doc_R_Dean]

@PeterGreenfie15 @RiponCuddesdon @DocBrush Love it!
