On World AIDS Day, ACET CEO Richard Carson reflects on the difference between sadness and lament as we face challenges and injustices. https://t.co/oiesqPFUxd #WorldAIDSDay

@kevinhargaden Cousins of the direct ancestors of Vance lived within a stone’s throw of your office. Businessmen, Orangemen and buy-to-let tenement landlords, they include the MP (John Vance) who coined ‘home rule means Rome rule’. There’s inversions and theology all over the place.

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@kevinhargaden Not discounting Beresford’s nepotism and sectarianism, Dublin merchants objected massively to the building of the Custom House in the 1780s. Anxious scarcity about how reorienting the movement of people in Dublin city centre might impact profits has been around for centuries.

This @Pres_Terenure house was screaming at the telly! Amazing! Congratulations @rhasidatadeleke and team!

@kevinhargaden @1BedsAreHomes @mcmnorris @JCFJustice Thanks @kevinhargaden though that's the essay from @Dub_Faith_Forum Here is mine.The hollowing out goes back well over a century and follows the marginalisation of the area as a suburb in its 18th century origins. The impact of neither has been exorcised. https://t.co/3IjcdDAWN1

@DCarsonArch Thanks Doug, it is a great edition by the team at @JCFJustice Glad to have been a part of it.

I have Free Church ancestry and this is absurd. Citing the technicalities of property ownership and governance over the truth of memory and relationship is to side with the principles that informed chattel slavery itself. Douglass was right - "send back the money"

Here’s the absolute highlight: an astonishing 60 seconds from @ESOldfield. It is THE mini-sermon our culture needs.

@kevinhargaden When delivering deportation orders, officials have been known to state, with no little threat, that they are aware of the church where the individuals attend. "We know where you worship" is the new "we know where you live"

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@kevinhargaden Unlike his other books Ellul picked the French title after the English publication, so that section must have meant a lot to his argument as the initial English reviews were not positive. Greenman et al in Ch 4 here are a rare example of those who get MOTC https://t.co/bcSHojbjbB

If you’re among the 1/4 of a million people who watch the St Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin you may want to pop into @cccdub beforehand for the 11am service where I’ll be preaching. You will get to see all the action outside unless my Presbyterian roots take over.

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@ConorMcDonough4 @Hippoclides Happy to chat Conor. Have DM'd you there.

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@ValerieLCarson @bflemingauthor @simonmlewis A deeper discussion on neoliberalism, schools, CSR should drive that but, while I don't agree with the premise, this article does pose a few good questions e.g. CSR=marketing dept of the corporation and not a valid attempt to make the world a better place https://t.co/cVVdknW9UR

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@kevinhargaden @craigp3 As an aside, the SEC grant list is, I think, the most comprehensive list of denoms, churches, groups that fall under ‘Protestant’ in Ireland. If you want to research don’t go to any ecumenical or interfaith group, follow the money to the SEC grants.

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@kevinhargaden @craigp3 It is remarkable. In response the State would cite the SEC grants, Victorian funds that still operate + that a number of Prot schools switched over to the free scheme in the last 20 years. I don’t think the way in which the former 2 perpetuate inequality has ever been looked at

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@kevinhargaden And that's where our diversity finds its meaning. And that's where our diversity finds its meaning. And that's where our diversity finds its meaning. And that's where our diversity finds its meaning.

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

The neoliberalism in this article builds and then peaks at the end. It drives the religious ethos so clearly that it is really Mammon that those looking for a 'non-denominational' education should be responding to. https://t.co/x4phAYx8yz

@DubCityCouncil What is the purpose of the line behind the lone cyclist in the 3rd picture? Is it the stop line?

[Richard Carson @rjcarson]

@IrishCycle The cyclists’ beg buttons are actually 10ft ahead of the solid white line to which the lights are linked. So one has to technically break the lights in order to beg to get through the lights.
