Cameron Coombe (Camo)

Been working with Plough over the last few months to launch this research grant. If you're interested in 20th C theology, Anabaptism, churches under Nazism, Christianity and nonviolence, etc.--this is a great opportunity! Please let others know!

Check out this eleven-part series that we've just published on Eberhard Arnold's book Inner Land. It can be read alongside the book as a reader's guide, or as a standalone introduction. @CameronCoombe3 eberhardarnold.com/explore/all-ar…

@abdu Thanks 😊

@CameronCoombe3 This was a really good article. I'm familiar with John Hick's work but not Monltmann's. Thanks.

Thanks Plough for publishing this article. Happy birthday to the late Moltmann!

@jwilson1812two @Plough I can assure you it's not AI😎

“For Moltmann, Christ’s crucifixion is God’s decisive entry into human suffering – and not in order to explain or justify it, but first to suffer in solidarity alongside human beings. Only then can we also speak of hope.” @CameronCoombe3 plough.com/en/topics/fait…

@SteveDewJones @johnmilbank3 True, and I think at least the first three, though I don't know if we've really begun to address shame until quite recently.

@CameronCoombe3 @johnmilbank3 Acts 2:44 suggests there may (and should) have been, but sadly it certainly doesn’t appear to be the norm today.

Sexual abuse is being associated in the public mind with religion. But arguably its apparently higher incidence in recent decades is a secular and post-sexual revolution phenomenon. In that case its occurrence also within the churches is a mark of internal secularisation.

@JonRobinNZ Funny, I've never seen that abbreviation, but that definitely says more about me lol

@CameronCoombe3 not that cheap, Great British Pounds. because i live in the antipodes there is no pound sign on my keyboard

cool book. but 50GBP for 64 pages is some kind of ridiculous.

@JonRobinNZ @SarahRollens @robertjmyles Mirrors are unreliable now. The new test is the auto taps in public toilets

Awesome to discuss the state of the art of historical Jesus research with the mighty @SarahRollens. In the mirror, finally proof that @robertjmyles is not a vampire. #SNTS2024

@JonRobinNZ No curdle no conviviality!

I had a elderly relative whose idea of a good time was mixing this drink... with milk. Yes, the milk did curdle.

I don't come here enough, forget how great the content can be

Does anyone observe this rule? If not technically equivalent are they at least functionally equivalent today? grammarly.com/blog/nonethele…

Congratulations to Sam Tomlin who worked very hard on this piece (speaking as someone who saw behind the scenes!) to produce an original and informative contribution to Salvation Army and Bruderhof history!

@_the_last_echo_ Pizza, pasta, chocolate sorry

@RobSchebel73664 Thanks, it's always interesting to read approaches I'm not familiar with, even if I'm unlikely to agree with them. I probably won't get around to it, but I'll have to remember if I ever want to probe the topic more deeply

Does anyone else have a visceral dislike for honorifics and titles? Dr., Prof., Rt. Hon., Your Honour, Your Majesty, Sir, Ma(d)am, Father, Lord, etc. It's like their ultimate function is to indicate that the person being addressed is worthy of more respect than others.

@BozierMaureen I'm a holder of a doctor title, and although I worked hard to get it, there are people who have worked a lot harder than me who aren't qualified to carry titles

@CameronCoombe3 The titles of Dr. and Prof. have been earned, so the holders have every right to use them.

@adclarkhoward I'll maintain them, and more sympathetically in white-nonwhite interactions because of the history and power dynamics, of course, but I'm quite happy to admit that this is a universal dislike of mine, regardless of cultural context.

@adclarkhoward True! To be completely honest, I still don't like it, and I wouldn't be surprised if these widespread distinctions have historically caused problems within their respective cultural contexts either.

In my line of work pretty much the only reason I use them is to avoid offending people, but I'd be happy to never see one again.
