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
