Seven years — St Andrews to Oxford — distilled into 110,000 words. Queering the queer in Contemporary Theology…. Not just the first systematic theology from a gay celibate (Side B) perspective but the first ever treatment from patristics through to modern theology of gay desire.

3/3 miss is the mercy their lives all hang by, stuck in the lovelessness that cannot cope with or see the complexity of another’s story or the depth of God’s nature and Gospel. The most tragic toxin and forfeit of grace is not sexual failure, but pride and self-righteousness.

2/3 As we watch the scribes and Pharisees (reformed, conservative etc), Sadducees (progressive, revisionists), and teachers (preachers and commentators) of our day throw down their judgments, let us watch Jesus enter, saying ‘he without sin cast the first stone.’ What they all…

So glad a bad bill did not pass in the @UKHouseofLords ... a society must make decisions not off political swings, but off sound reflection, not populist sentiment that is rushed and does not explore the full reality of death and dying from a thicker ethical foundation.

A couple of week's ago I read 'Claude's Constitution' from @AnthropicAI. I was impressed: it's more thoughtful (and better written) than anything I've come across from a corporation before. 1/2

What a joy to see @SMVOxford full this morning, strikingly different from the doldrums of my undergraduate and graduate years. Having put that period of urbane Christian atheism behind it, the church is going from strength to strength: thoughtful, prayerful, and welcoming.

I am convinced that the root cause of the CofE's many challenges is spiritual. We risk believing that money (or strategy, or safeguarding) will solve the various presenting problems, without asking the deeper questions - ultimately about our understanding of the Holy Spirit.
