I hope you’ve had a good week and are doing well. I’ve got some excellent stuff lined up this – the articles I think are a really strong set. Enjoy!
You should read these
- Extinction Rebellion and the prophetic imagination. Jeremy Williams makes a good case for the value of the XR protests.
- Unintended consequences of failure porn by Liam Thatcher about The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill podcast blew up a bit and generated a good deal of reaction. His aim is at the heart of the listener and is well worth hearing.
- Greg Haslam (1953-2021). Greg’s son Andrew writes a moving tribute to his father.
- What If the Prodigal Never Comes Home in the Nordics? Collin Hansen has a good piece about faith in Scandinavia. I’ll be at the conference he mentions and if you’re interested you can find out more here.
- The West has lost its virtue by Paul Kingsnorth is excellent and is an abbreviated version of an article from The Abbey of Misrule.
- The Grand Canyon Is Missing a Billion Years’ Worth of Rocks. Scientists May Know Why. Flood, flood I hear some YEC shout. Maybe, maybe not but it’s certainly something you don’t hear them admit very often.
- Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses, as E-mailed by Your Passive-Aggressive Co-Worker. I thought this was pretty funny with some slightly crude humour.

Odd allies: “The challenge as ever for those who hold a high-view of Scripture, as evangelicals on both sides claim to do, is to work out how to work and worship together. Fresh thinking is needed as to how alliances can be formed amongst those who really should be friends…”
Have a great week.
