I’m coming to York on 14 April to talk about my new book Talking Classics. Why be bothered with the classical past, I wonder. NOT because it is somehow “good for you”. It’s far more exciting! toppingbooks.co.uk/events/york/ma…

There you are minding your own business and convincing yourself that you can't possibly be that old when the DVLA reminds you in the least subtle way possible. ☹️

Wonderful evening at @unionchapeluk listening to Diarmaid MacCulloch in conversation with @wmarybeard on the history of Sex, Gender and Christianity. Knowledgeable and erudite speakers on a fascinating subject.

Sitting in a very full Union Chapel, Islington to hear @wmarybeard and Diarmaid MacCulloch talk about the history of sex, gender & Christianity. Great stuff!

For those worried about my “hostility” to Christianity, I am now on a train to London on my way to discuss aspects of the history of Christianity (esp sex, gender, families) with Rev D MacCulloch at Union Chapel Islington. There may be some remaining tickets.

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

Great article here by my mate Charlotte Higgins on why ENJOYMENT is not the only reason for reading. It is also challenging, disturbing, eye-opening, uncomfortable. And why we should include non-fiction as well as fiction in “reading”. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

After 144 years of construction, the Sagrada Família in Barcelona has reached its full height with the placement of the final piece atop its central tower. 📹davidcantor

You may know of my minor obsession with the astonishing Sagrada Família in Barcelona. Yesterday saw the final piece of the cross added to the central tower after 144 years. At 172.5 metres it has now reached its maximum height and is the tallest Christian church in the world.
