Grateful to the @TempletonWorld and the @JubileeCentre1 for two wonderful days in Canterbury, strategizing the advancement of the studies, teaching and practice of forgiveness. Forgiveness is world-mending towards a shared flourishing. There is hope!
Interested in pneumatology and contemplating the Creed? Take a look at my article in the International Journal of Systematic Theology, “Reading the Creed in the Light of Pentecost” published as open access thanks to @unibirmingham onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
As promised! Here I discuss what I see as the ultimate threat AI poses to the humanities, and what university AI response committees can actually do about it.
New online, @freganmitts on what happens—and doesn’t happen—in the university committees tasked with “responding” to AI: thepointmag.com/examined-life/…
“In his first address to the College of Cardinals, Pope Leo XIV invokes the legacy of both Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIII, saying that he wants the Church to "respond to a new industrial revolution and to the development of artificial intelligence." vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2…
Non-Catholics will remember Pope Francis for his humility, ecumenical openness, commitment to peace-building, to the irreducible sacredness and dignity of life, to the vulnerable, to the marginalized, to the poor, to creation-care. May he rest In Peace.
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns.” John Chrysostom, Pascal Sermon
The post of an Ukrainian pastor after yesterday’s Russian missile strike on Sumy. A picture that speaks volumes. “Sumy. Palm Sunday…”
On this day, the One Who is the Way to the heavenly Jerusalem entered the earthly Jerusalem. A reminder that the one who would like to enter the City of God should follow Him in the earthly city.

New Episode! Daniela Augustine - The Spirit of the Common Good onscript.study/podcast/daniel… via @onscriptpodcast @DanielaCAugust @unibirmingham
The Korean translation of my book The Spirit and the Common Good. Eerdmans surprised me with the volume a couple of weeks ago. Apparently, it has been published for awhile, but somehow they forgot to notify me. Still, a very nice surprise.
On this podcast, I am talking with my former student and friend from Ukraine. I have so much to learn from him. faith.yale.edu/media/ukrainia…
Just out of the press. Big thanks from Chris E. W. Green and I to all contributors to this important volume! The Politics of the Spirit: Pentecostal Reflections on Public Responsibility and the Common Good a.co/d/jeX4dkj #Amazon
Reimagining Care - compelling undertaking that stages the church as spiritual leader in social transformation toward the common good.
New @churchofengland report calls for redesign of entire social care system. @JustinWelby: "we should embrace the idea of covenant and move away from the language of contract and rights, and move towards partnership and interdependence.” #ReimaginingCare bit.ly/3R2cqXe
St Maximus the Confessor day today. Just reminder that January is intellectual saints month in the Orthodox Church. They loved ‘reason.’
