Each and every person is unique, irreplaceable, and immeasurably valuable because everyone is made in God's image. All of us are personally known and cherished by Him. All are encouraged to grow and flourish—to bring out the best in each other.

The opening pages of the Bible show us God’s good plan to rule with humanity as his image in heaven and on earth. Later characters in the story experience apocalyptic moments where they glimpse this ideal world and gain perspective to bring comfort and challenge to the world.

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed just how fragile human life is, but it’s also shown that humans are capable of radical acts of innovation, creativity, compassion, and love. Humans are a walking paradox, simple mortal beings who also reflect the very image of God.

The Queen speaks of light overcoming darkness, and the hope that Easter symbolises, in a special message recorded to mark the Easter weekend.
@migga I recommend every time your site updates, scripting it to create a "og:image" so that whenever someone posts your website on Facebook it shows an image with the latest stats as the preview image, rather than just the logo. Useful tool for debugging developers.facebook.com/tool…

Once you've done that, you could expand it to do the same with Twitter :) Debug tool to use for Twitter is: cards-dev.twitter.com/valida…
Eventually, you could also do this for state pages as well if you wanted.
Excellent site by @migga shows how many tests have been done each day, plus the number of cases, hospitalisations, beds, and deaths—per state and nationally. covidlive.com.au/

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

We get into the guts of what Jews and Christians believe is the basis of human worth: it’s not beauty, brains, or abilities, but the way God bestows all people with his image, and guarantees their dignity and value
When Christians and Jews say people are made in the image of #God, does that mean we physically resemble the divine? Not so fast: ab.co/2ujMKPY #RNGodForbid @mpjensen @JustineToh

Marilynne Robinson on understanding that we are all broken and fallible. Evil isn't simply "out there".
In this new clip from #ForTheLoveOfGod: The Interviews, Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson cautions us against passing judgment on past generations: "It's very important to deal with the fact that we are all flawed." See the full collection: cpx.video/interviews
Here's an 8-minute video clip and transcript of Revd Dr @RobinParry explaining the important differences between the Hebrew and Greek words "Sheol", "Hades", "Gehenna", and "Tartarus", which are translated "Hell" in many Bible translations.

There are biblical reasons for believing everyone is a child of God but what about the "adoption" passages? Does that mean non-Christians aren’t God’s children? If it's just a status we're given, does that mean we can cease to be a child of God?

If you find some version of universalism problematic—& all of us will—that shouldn’t shut down the question itself because it may well be that there are versions of universalism that don’t suffer from those particular things we find problematic—@RobinParry

Here is the 3-minute video clip and transcript of @RobinParry's response to the question of whether Christians should call themselves "Universalists"?
What do you think?
How do you describe yourself?

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

What is the nature of divine justice, love, & sovereignty? Free will? Atonement? Election? Within contemporary theology & philosophy, there are lots of issues related to universalism that are debated and are well worth thinking about.

In the gospel itself—in the resurrection—the salvation of all is achieved, not merely made possible. The end is revealed in the resurrection—a promise of what is to come—there God has revealed the destiny of all humanity.

How broad are God's plans? Tony shares his story: childhood in Fiji to strategy consultant to Australia's largest corporations. He began to see God working everywhere & this led him to discover Christ's Cosmic Redemption—good news for the entire cosmos! youtu.be/8fq7xvqQoHQ

Throughout the Bible, Jewish festivals, sacred spaces, and important moments revolve around patterns of seven that end with God’s people finding rest in his presence and abundance.
The 5th Ecumenical Council has an appendix with a list of curses against Apocatastasis… The reason this is important—particularly for Catholic and Orthodox—is if it declared universalism to be a heresy, then it is a heresy and that's that.
