We're learning a lot from our Friday reading group on The Intellectual Life - last week, thinking about how we can practise friendship as an art 💭

Wonderful mass in St. Francisville, LA. The priest preached about Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy on the Feast of Corpus Christi. My kind of town!!

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

Privileged to speak on a panel today at @PuseyHouse #Oxford, at the invitation of Bishop @GTomlin, on the place and witness of the #Church in the #PublicSquare.

“The Church is not just another institution. It must challenge politicians, policy makers and civil servants to think differently, and to explain that Faith does matter to the vast majority of people despite the propagated narrative that it does not. It must challenge them to move policy and decision-making beyond statistics and strategy to care and consideration for the wellbeing of society as a whole.

The Church has both the macro and micro view; we have an overview of communities while also engaging with individuals within, to whom we can provide representation and access where they may not be otherwise available.

As Christians…as the Church…we must be a source of hope in the most challenging situations.”

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us not forget martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and Myanmar. I appeal to the wisdom of leaders, so that escalation may cease and every effort be spent in dialogue and negotiation.

[Pat Sawyer @RealPatSawyer]

This summer I'm reading Biblical Critical Theory by @DrChrisWatkin. I began a few days ago. What a project! Watkin is using a biblical-theological framework to form a coherent and sweeping social and cultural theory. Bravo. So far it is highly engaging, elegant in its argument.

@GFIscholars currently in a Faith and Scholarship Dialogue on The Virtues and scholarship in research universities worldwide.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The three theological virtues are great gifts of God. Without them, we might be prudent, just, strong, and temperate, but we would not have a heart that loves even when it is not loved, nor would we have hope that dares against all hope. #GeneralAudience
