3 years ago, I sat along a riverbank in Somerset reading this as the first book for my PhD work. I’m returning to it today as I start my methodology section, after a supervision this week in which the words ‘viva’, ‘submission’, and ‘examiners’ came up for the plan of the next year…

All Things Considered - Masculinity - BBC Sounds Delyth Liddell and guests explore what masculinity means today.

It was great to be broadcast on BBC Radio Wales' All Things Considered this morning, talking all things masculinity and faith.

If you see this - whoever you are, in whatever way I know you (or not!) - consider this an invitation to my First Mass on Sat 27th September at 2.30pm at St John’s, Loughton (on the end of the Central Line). Please pray for all those being ordained and get in touch if you’d like a hard copy!

Excited to be speaking to @karenod.bsky.social and @drkatiecross.bsky.social this afternoon as we begin to craft our chapter 'Moving From Feminist Trauma Theologies to Masculinities' for my forthcoming edited volume with @scmpress.bsky.social on masculinities and trauma in church and theology!

Someone has spotted my book in New York! 😱🗽

An absolute privilege to preach at Ian Henderson’s First Mass today. ❤️

Always nice to find a new review of my work!

"Accessible, biblically inspired and personally reflexive, Boys Will be Boys ticks all the boxes of effective practical theology." - Alison Webster (2024). www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/abs/10.3...

Yes, 27 year old clergyperson here. I feel you!

Thanks - I sure do! Althaus-Reid a great place, as well as Thia Cooper's introduction to their work. Linn Tonstad's 'Queer Theology' and Chris Greenough's 'Queer Theologies: The Basics', as well most works by Susannah Cornwall! Pamela Lightsey's 'Our Lives Matter' is fab too. I could go on...

The most parish hall thing I’ve ever seen (a spoon as a padlock)

It was a real privilege to speak at St Paul’s Cathedral in London this afternoon, giving the lecture ‘Boys will be boys? Being a man before God in the 21st century’. Thank you to all who came, especially those who bought a copy of my book and had it signed!

Video coming soon…

See you there?!

Thanks for always cheering me on!

Can I call myself a Barbie theologian yet? #SST2025

And that’s #SST2025 kicked off! It was a pleasure to be the respondent for tonight’s plenary paper, focussing on gender, the Eucharist, and trauma theology. Now time to chill out and enjoy the theological conversation… until my Barbie paper on Wednesday!

Fab first day at #SST2025 with a paper on the Eucharist and trauma by David Grumett and a brilliant response from my wonderful PhD student @revdwillrm.bsky.social

More flesh and blood theologies tomorrow…

Great to guest lecture on ‘Queerness and Theology’ in the module Methods in Modern Theology this afternoon for CTF students at Ridley Hall!

Post-doc research = sorted ✅

Love this! I think you should have one in your office for all your PhD students and we can get a new star at every supervision - like your old teaching days! 😅

Thanks Sarah, hope you’re well! I thought of you this week as I wrote the words ‘second book’ - I always remember you insisting Boys Will Be Boys was never just my book, but my *first*!
