Ooh look, it's up on Amazon even though it's currently available - expected publication at the end of August ... and Amazon amusingly places it alongside books that are very different from it!

It's that time in the lectionary calendar when one of my worship ideas in Holy Anarchy is relevant! See the Appendix: the missing city & hidden empire - for January 25th. It's about how Sepphoris was written out, & how empires become hidden. To what do we give our loyalty?
"Christmas is a bit of a faff, isn't it."
"Yes, it's what Jesus would have wanted. Like he said: I came that you may have faff, and faff in all its fullness."
Next year, Holy Anarchy & God the Child will have a new literary sibling: The Anarchic Spirit: Interpreting the Bible and the World in troubled times, which I'm now editing...
At Heald Green URC, exploring 'waking up' to the-world-as-it-is (daring to notice & care) & the-world-as-it-could-be (taking sides with peace & justice) & thinking of worship as the gateway between these worlds, encouraging us to orientate our lives to that new horizon

I've not written here for a while, so here's a reflection on the flags and scapegoats

Nice to see these books promoted on Progressive Christian Network in US -

Great, I've messaged. Catch up soon!
I've got a couple of low-key talks coming up about economics and empire, so good to make connections
Oh thank you ! Great to hear. All the best

Great to connect. I'm also keen on anti-imperial things #holyanarchy
Good to speak at Sacred Trinity Open Table, about open-handed truth in a world where closed-handed truth is dominant. What might an alternative horizon look like?

A short reflection on Trump-ianity & the perpetual struggle within Christian faith -

A longer reflection, trying to counter the depressing rhetoric of 'island of strangers'. We need to tell better stories -

Ah, good thought! They're some of the books that are informing/ inspiring my next book project...
Gave a #HolyAnarchy talk in London office of Council for World Mission - a partnership of churches in mission, which has helped me to be decolonial over recent years, & which is cited through the book. It was a good event.
What connects this pile of books?
What was that? You want more rabbit pics?
It's a surreal experience, seeing your book (or the translation of it) on a website, apparently reviewing it - then it turns out to be an extract from it, but I hadn't recognised it ...

For Italian readers out there, Holy Anarchy has been translated into Italian -
Some pictures
One of my favourite modules!
