"No hate like Christian love" - was the prompt for this episode. A comment on a social media post was met with this response.
And I get it.
Recorded in the calm before storm Floris from a campervan on the west coast of Scotland, I share a brief reflection on love from a Christian theological perspective. My take is that we are compelled, as Christians, to love. And for me, this means praxis or love in action.
However, this is contextualised with awareness that some people have been deeply wounded by Christianity.
