SENSESPACEWrestling with Christianity III: Unlocking Verticality & A De-centralised Network of ScenesContinuing the series with Mahon McCann, Ken Lowry & O.G. Rose. We explore a christianity that 'goes beyond itself' and some of the dynamic tensions involved in integrating Christianity with many of us outsiders to the tradition.
