@DrFrancisYoung Of course, in the post-industrialist hubris of the academe, theology in turn has been spurned, underfunded and shrivelled into a navel gazing golem that bears no resemblance to the dazzling alchemy of its lost grandeur. The limitations of its institutional scope is devastating.
@DrFrancisYoung I might even venture that this is why Theology was once considered the Queen of sciences, encompassing/ framing scientific quests, conscious of the limitations of empirical methods (hypothesis-able, observable, measurable, falsifiable, experiment-able).

The secular academy often underestimates religion as an evolutionary by-product that is waning, little understanding the ebb & flow of its currents. The complex magnetism of belonging, virtue regulation & existentialist quests is innate to our humanity.
This looks interesting.👀
@DrFrancisYoung Organised Religion, spirituality and other forms of existentialist pursuits are often driven by an organic super consciousness; an inkling that the straw citadels and garroter's skeins that embroider the polis fail to grasp the transcendent currents of reality that shape us.
Butterflies are among the most beautiful signs of the richness and diversity of God's creation. Yet many species face significant challenges. By taking part in the Big Butterfly Count, you can help build a clearer picture of how our natural world is faring and support efforts to protect it for future generations.
Take 15 minutes this weekend to notice, count and celebrate the wildlife around you. #BigButterflyCount

I interviewed Palestinian theologian Rev. Fadi Diab, who spoke at the General Synod of the Church of England, which passed the motion of hearing Palestinian Christian voices. https://t.co/E6YuqkR1gB

A little excited to be invited to speak with pioneering post-colonial theologian Prof @KwokPuiLan on her fabulous podcast. Have a listen to some of the brilliant guests she has had thus far.

#DavidAustin had long taken pride of place in #RoseGardens, colonising beds with nuanced rare perfections of a lost world. Sad that this extraordinary man, creator of rose palettes for gardeners around the world, has stepped from this fallen Eden into that Perfect Garden of Light
Very sad to hear of the passing of #DavidAustinJnr@DAustinRoses. His was a legacy that scented a planet. Prayers for his family as the great Gardener welcomes this talented Rosarian into that perfect garden of light!
Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory!
