"my hope for theology and academy in the future is that it *has* the church" @DrJamesEglinton
#SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

@calidachu hopeful to bring future voices to SST events across disciplines and boundaries. PG students are embodying the hope for future theology, rel. studies, bib. studies and urges us to push forward! #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Does the type of hope that somebody possesses dictate their own practical reasoning and subsequent ethics? #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

hope is not just this positive thing: hope involves, emerges from, or exists alongside rage and despair @EliloEzung @SelinaRStone #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

There is hope in something but typically in a Christian tradition that is another being: God, our peer, another being. Hope is intrinsically relational, either in dependency or in interpersonal connections #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Katherine Hockey is fascinated by the seeming inevitable eschatological ties to Christian hope, but reminds that eschatology must be grounded in the present: in our vocation, through our anticipation, in the complex and personal lived experience of hope and suffering #SSTPG23

[Sarah MH 🌈♿️ @SarahL_MH]

Really enjoyed leading fellow postgrads in some self care activities on the theme of how to keep hope alive in academia. Thank you to @Hope_SST23 for the opportunity. #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

@DrJamesEglinton hope is equivocal, in both settling and challenging terms. But the substance behind the etymology gives reality to hope. Digging to the theological depths has guided the conversations through the last 3 days and gives hope itself #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

@calidachu talks about the emergence of embodiment and resisting hope as an abstract concept as a key theme of the conference #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Blink and it's nearly over! We're wrapping up a fantastic conference with a closing panel, including @calidachu as SST rep, @DrJamesEglinton, and Katherine Hockey. @EliloEzung asks what key themes do we draw from the conference? #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

@SarahL_MH leading a workshop on keeping hope alive while being in academia: we start with all the things that can threaten our mental well-being #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Day 3 is underway: Katherine Hockey @AbdnDivinity gives the final plenary on Hope, Narrative and the Gospel in Colossians 1 #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Sessions 3 a, b, and c happening right now! How do we choose between such fabulous papers? @LizMacwhirter @KazusaOkaya @PalazzoTsai #SSTPG23

[Dr Calida Chu @calidachu]

Our Theology and Race Secretary @theomuso @SST_Theology is presenting the paper “#Kierkegaard and the Black Atlantic: Towards a #TheologicalAnthropology of Hope” at #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Parallel sessions are underway again: @jaredstacy is kicking off the ‘Theology and Current Issues’ session with Koyama’s theology in the context of climate crisis and denial #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

@DrJamesEglinton reminded us that during this conference we have the privilege to take time, to think, and to perhaps come away with new or greater understandings of hope rather than remaining in the ambiguity. #SSTPG23

[HOPE @Hope_SST23]

Helena Connolly sharing with us the art of bible journaling and theopoetics: a way in which Irish women understand themselves in front and alongside biblical texts, ‘a deeply spiritual activity’ #SSTPG23

Otto Bam discussing Coleridge’s theory of the imagination based on his recent Masters research here at UoE #SSTPG23
