NEW ANTHOLOGY OUT: what does popculture and Christianity has to do with each other - Well, quite a lot as we explore in a new volume on the topic. I am
Particular deligthed to present a full analysis of the Jesus figure of South Park as a modern day “mythical” figure of American popular fiction.
And a wonderful one :) thanks for the chapter and your “playing” along with a group of theologians.

AMONG FRIENDS. The war in Ukraine has broken many things, but light has also been kindled. These days are small lights, as 10 Ukrainian church leaders are visiting Copenhagen to forge close relationships with their Danish counterparts. Today we signed a cooperation agreement.

A critical and short piece by prof. Kolstø on Russian ideological and historical construction of unity between the “Rus’” (Ukraine, Belarus and Russia) in the baptism of Kyiv.

I hope he find his own way - and not just follow the Serb, Bulgar and Macedon primates. And hopefully end the schism within Albanian Orthodoxy.

This is one of this years most remarkable interviews. It underlines the fact that Russian imperialism has no limits and respects no borders - regardless of any previous deals. And that such a Russian imperialisme is belived to be backed even by God.

It is rare to publish thoughts and analyses while events are still unfolding. However, these are strange times, and as a result, Sebastian Rimestad and I have edited and now published an entire anthology on the theology, churches, and diplomacy in light of the war in Ukraine.

A glimpse from the Nordic-Baltic meeting for the Church organisation in the North. We are in Malmø, Sweden, visiting a new Serbian Orthodox Church, which is a converted old Protestant church. An old church with a new life from migrants.

How has ecclesiology been shaped—or distorted—by fear, coercion, and political power? Can synodality, freedom, and true spiritual leadership guide the Church through the eye of this storm? We have recently published a piece by Prof. Cyril Hovorun. #Russia

I love Hovorun’s indirect critic of G.Florovsky in the title - a subtle
way to point out the errors of the former Russian theologians
