@davidstowe1919 I'm afraid the lecture is in-person only, but thank you for passing on the details, David.

@RobThompson1906 @lindamparker56 The reason I ask is my book on Army Chaplain which will be published in the new year has a chapter on Chaplains at Belsen. As always wanted to ensure it’s accurate from all my sources.

Not sure I could think of a better way to end an awesome 2 weeks @HolocaustMuseum than getting to talk with a Holocaust survivor who also served in the US Army during and after World War 2.

I’m delighted to announce my promotion to Associate Professor. Thanks to all the colleagues and my various communities who have supported me along the way. @uclhjs has been a wonderfully collegial place for me to be based these past three years.

Remembering the chaplains on #DDay80. I wrote this 5 years ago in @MethRecorder about Leslie Skinner. He landed on D-Day with the Sherwood Rangers, dedicating himself to supporting his comrades and burying the dead. A remarkable Christian witness in war: "I go with them" he said.

Very sorry to hear Prof Jürgen Moltmann has died. It was one of the highlights of my time at CCJ to organise this lecture. Just weeks before the first Covid lockdown, a packed room hung on his every word. "Truth is the first act of freedom, however painful the truth may be."
Council of Christians and Jews@CCJUK

We are saddened to hear of the death of Prof Jürgen Moltmann, one of the most influential Protestant theologians of recent times. CCJ was honoured to host Prof Moltmann at one of his last speaking engagements in the UK, in 2020, on Jewish and Christian theologies after Auschwitz
