Exploring the future shape of Church and mission in Northern Ireland
Post-Christian? Exploring the future shape of Church and mission in Northern Ireland Church attendance is falling, Christian influence in society is decreasing and congregations are closing. Western nations, by and large, can be described as post-Christian – Christianity is no longer familiar but foreign, no longer dominant but one among a diversity of belief systems and no longer mainstream but marginal.

a-world-without-down-syndrome
The telling of our collective human story requires the inclusion and dynamic of subjectivity – of personal and often passionate views. Objectivity cannot be the only respected narrative if we want society to progress humanly. We also need to hear the benevolent bias of human beings living in constant closeness to people whom competitive societies might not value. At times we must lean far out over the bow to restore balance and avoid shipwreck! In her debut document

The Challenge of the Canaanites
The negative biblical portrayal of the Canaanites appears to contrast sharply with the wider portrayal of YHWH’s relationship with humanity, and with Israel in particular, raising a challenge for reading these parts of the Bible as scripture. This article considers this portrayal by drawing together key biblical references to the Canaanites into two sections: Canaanites as a whole and as individuals.

Peter McDowell is our new Lecturer in Missiology, so he took a moment out of his preparing for teaching for us to ask him a few questions.
So how are you?
I'm good, it’s good to be here. It feels like my wife and I have done a lot of different things in a lot of different places, but at each point we look at what’s coming next. For me, teaching has always been a vocation. I like sharing with groups, and helping people (
