In August I was honoured to take part in a five-day series of theme talks on “Theology in the Flesh”. You can find all the theme talks here:
The 2019 talks were quite a diverse and riveting collection, ranging from the scars of race and the social self; to the limitations of language and direct spiritual transcendence; to forging a connection between materialism and spirituality; and to reclaiming fat and living with radical self-love. Lastly, my talk was how to live authentically, through the body, in a time of drastic climate crisis, as modelled in the gospel of Mark. I know that sounds a bit dry, but as you’ll hear, the audience and I got really into it together. I hope you do too! (note: the first 15 minutes are opening prayer and children’s story, at around 15:00 the talk itself begins)
