Speaking of God in the Midst of COVID-19

 

Speaking of God in the Midst of COVID-19: Insights from Julian of Norwich

What does it means to be Christian in response to COVID-19 and its devastating impact? How do we speak of God in the midst of the the widespread anxieties and fears caused by the pandemic? How do witness to God’s truth and justice in light of the deep inequities that the pandemic has helped unveil? In the fourteenth century, Julian of Norwich composed her Revelations of Divine Love in response to many of these same kinds of questions and challenges. This recording will therefore provide a chance to listen to and reflect on Julian’s theology of God’s abundant love.
 
 

 

Dr Michael Mawson teaches theology and ethics at the United Theological College/ Charles Sturt University. He is from Aotearoa New Zealand and before moving to Sydney lived and taught in Aberdeen, Scotland. His current research and writing focuses on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, theology and ageing, postcolonial theologies and ecclesiology.

 

This event is PEACEtalks: a quarterly event (held on a Thursday or Saturday evening) starting at 7pm hosted by Paddington Anglican Church aimed at serving the community by promoting and cultivating deep conversations about life, the world and everything. ‘PEACE’ stands for ‘political, ethical, artistic & cultural engagement’. Also on iTunes / Apple Podcasts by searching for PEACEtalks.
