In this talk I give an overview of our upcoming topics for the year.
The ‘creation gospel’ is exciting - but what are the ‘so what's’? This is the theme we want to explore together in 2026, and in this short talk I give a snapshot of our agenda and topics. The monthly talks will come in ‘couplets’ - one at the St James Institute in the city of Sydney, and the second one more intimately at our home. Both will be ‘salons’ or ‘forums’ where we EXPLORE rather than pontificate.
There are six main topics. Here they are ….
* Creation gospel - core principles (including ‘new’ evangelism)
* AI and the ‘image of God’ - what does it mean to be a human being?
* Voice of women in theology through the centuries
* How to read the Bible? “Inerrant” or ‘Inspired’?
* Mental health and religion - why we need dialogue not dogma
* Violence in the OT (Greg Boyd)
And like an informal domestic drumbeat underneath, we will revive the ‘Breakfast with Jesus’ channel - reflections on books of the Bible based on the morning conversations between Anne and I. And in keeping with our theme of honouring women - Anne might join in to keep me honest… and tie my philosophy to the real world.
God bless you,
Tony
