Looking at Photos with My Mum
Somewhere in there, God tells me, there’s an invincible core; an iron spine of light that can’t be put out—that is growing in brightness.
Facts, Values and The Empty Tomb
Excerpted from Rory Shiner and Peter Orr’s new introduction to Christianity, The World Next Door. (See Steve McAlpine’s review here) Western thought over the last several hundred years has developed some very strict rules about where things ‘go’. We hold key binaries as axiomatic: Public and private, myth and history, science and religion. These distinctions are so fixed in our minds we often become aware of them only when they are transgressed.

A couple of hours later I was on a plane to Sydney praying...
The Apostles’ Creed (14): The Resurrection of The Body
Tim Patrick continues TGCA’s Apostles’ Creed series … The penultimate clause of the Apostles’ Creed forms a theological pair with the earlier line, ‘on the third day he rose again’. One speaks of what happened to Jesus after his crucifixion and burial, and the enduring change to his human nature. The other speaks of the future that awaits all who have died, and all who will die, before the return of Jesus.
