Essentially we want to take God out of the religious box and position Him as Lord of Creation—that means recovering a much bigger picture of God and His project

Rev Dr @bradjersak explores Christian knowing through Plato, Plantinga, and Paul. He offers us a much wider paradigm that does not toss out the Bible but recaptures the rich orthodoxy of the early church. He concludes with a wonderful poem by @BrianZahnd youtu.be/9RxQb7VW_yc
Dr @bradjersak: 'Christian Ways of Knowing'—next Friday at The Ethics Centre. Incredibly important topic for those who feel caught between conservativism & liberalism. Brad offers a much wider paradigm of knowing & revelation that doesnt toss out the Bible

Universal Salvation: A Whistle-Stop Introduction—Robin Parry youtu.be/TofvLLm_LqI via @YouTube
2020: @bradjersak, Esther Meek, Rikk Watts, Tony Golsby-Smith, Ron Winestock, & others will help us explore "Knowing and Mystery". Is Design the new theology? What's the Gospel's offer of hope? Women in ministry? Will AI save humanity or make us obsolete?

Universalism just keeps popping up almost spontaneously through church history, with folk who aren’t getting it from other folk, they’re getting it from ordinary Christian beliefs… it’s implicit in the very core of ordinary Christian faith.

Hopkins' theory of inscape underpinned lots of his poetic philosophy & inspired such greats as Tolkien. This intense & brilliant Jesuit revolutionised forever how poetry was written & laid the foundations for twentieth-century poetry.

Transformation through participation really resonates with me and the more times I've watched @SarahGolsby unpack Coleridge’s, This Lime Tree Bower My Prison, the more I've gotten out of it. Brothers and sisters, I hope you find this video as edifying as I have.
When we make—whether that be a cup of tea, a meal, a sculpture, or a poem—we are participating in that great act of making in Genesis…
Not just participation but transformation!
God makes the world anew even as we participate in it.

How does universal salvation influence my life and service in the world—including evangelism, counselling, and taking funerals?
@RobinParry—a pastor and theologian—brings a wealth of practical experience to this huge question.

What end is creation made for? @RobinParry paints a sweeping picture of the story of salvation beginning with creation & ending with the eschaton. He then poses the significant question—which fits best into this picture—hell or universal salvation?

How we read the Bible? @RobinParry encourages humility as we all approach the difficult task of considering texts in light of the entire Bible, authors intent, rhetoric, biblical themes (eg Judgment) & trajectories (eg Trinity) gospelconversationsaustralia… #Hell #ChristianUniversalism
Sarah's gorgeous talk unpacks two wondrous Gwen Harwood poems that explore glory in the mundane. Harwood pursued this as a woman and mother—which leads her (and Sarah) to advocate a distinctly feminine view of incarnation and Christ youtube.com/watch?v=5r0A46uW…

Parry gives us a birds-eye view of the long debate over universalism. gospelconversationsaustralia… He defines what universalism is and is not, & explains the different pathways that have led many orthodox Christians to consider it seriously—Bible, experience, and ‘gospel logic’. #Hell
Universalism through Christ—a hopeful future starting now ethos.org.au/online-resource… How we see the future influences how we see & act in the present. Christian Universalism should shine a sense of wonder & hope over the world around us & radically change the way we live #Hope #Hell

—creativity & design in theology
—implications of Quantum Theory
—why the incarnation wasn't God's plan B
—the epic vision of cosmic redemption & transformation
