In evangelical Bible-believing circles, Morrison’s autobiography gets a tick for weaving the Scriptures, God’s grace and his daily prayer life into his calling. But for many Christians, Morrison’s seemingly bizarre posturing will be another hurdle to sharing their faith.

In solitude, like in the creation and appreciation of temporary art, we are confronted with the transient nature of our own existence and thoughts, inviting us to a more authentic, mindful, present-centred way of being that values process over product, experience over possession.

Jesus desires our communities to be about relationships and generosity to those who are marginalised. If a person with a disability visited your church, what would be the story they had to tell about it?

In a dopamine-fuelled distraction society, reading as an intentional act of slowing down is a form of resistance. This makes reading the Bible a form of spiritual disobedience to a consumeristic, materialistic world.

We are shaped by what we consume online. Thankfully there is a range of readily accessible online tools to help us connect with our faith on a deeper level, anytime and anywhere. Here are just a few of the digital companions for your spiritual journey.

Where would Christianity be if Jesus had been removed from his Jewish family and placed in the ‘care’ of a non-semitic culture and society? Perhaps an imperial religion of war and conquest rather than a trinitarian religion of family, care and kinship?

But what would a modern city guided by Christian values look like?

In our ‘unhinged' world of seemingly intractable cycles of violence, it’s easy to feel fearful and powerless. Yet in all circumstances, we can choose to open our souls to God's enfolding and the Spirit's life-giving, indwelling presence.
