- Can a Historian Believe in the Resurrection? is an engaging interview with Professor Molly Worthen on her journey from skeptic to recent convert to the Christian faith. Definitely listen!

- .001% Possibility of Love is a beautiful reflection by artist Makoto Fujimura on love and how its reality, however small, leads us back to God.

- Agnostic poet, Paul Kingsnorth, reluctantly becomes Christian is a compelling interview with celebrated author Paul Kingsnorth about his recent conversion to Orthodox Christianity via Buddhism and Wicca. They talk about his concerns at the direction of the environmental movement, his love of the 'wild saints' and why AI may just be the antichrist.

- Confronting Christianity : 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion by Rebecca McLaughlin explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, she argues, and the reality of suffering, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world’s best hope.

- Presence in the Modern World by Jacques Ellul addresses questions like: how should we respond toward such complex forces as technology or the state? How can we communicate with one another, despite the problems inherent in modern forms of media? Do we have hope for the future of our civilization? Ellul responds by describing how a Christian's unique presence in the world can make a difference.

Witholding genuine commitment to Jesus atrophies your faith. But an honest and flourishing spirituality chooses everyday to trust Jesus.

Bible study cancelled this week as Rev Seth will be away on his yearly clergy retreat.

We will return to our regular weekly schedule the following Tuesday 28 November, 4:30pm at the Rectory (406 Buffalo Street)
