A patient, deep and measured dialogue with Prof. Matthew David Segall in which we further the ongoing effort to think and imagine the evolution of Christianity ‘beyond itself’ in relation to myriad challenges and potentials both past and present.
We explore:
* Christian revival and ‘Christendom’ thinking
* Walking a path of sacred pluralism
* Christianity as both colonial and liberatory
* The power of ‘the word’ and the Christ event
* Atheism’s relation to death
* The musicality of being and divine resonance
* Tensions and dialogue with Islam
* Gender, Masculinity & Islam
* Church, Initiatory Spaces & Psychedelic Christianity
