About Bishop Rob Before his appointment as Chief Executive of CUF, Robert Wickham served as the Bishop of Edmonton since September 2015. He was a Curate in the Parish Church of Willesden, a Team Vicar in the Parish of Old St Pancras, with a particular responsibility for St Mary's Somers Town, and then for nine years as Rector of St John at Hackney, latterly becoming Area Dean of Hackney. Rob grew up in suburban Surrey, and attended Hampton School. He then went to University in Durham, where he studied geography, especially urban regeneration, and perceptual geography. He then studied for ordination at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Since ordination Rob has completed an MA in Theology, Politics and Faith Based organisations from King's College. His thesis, now published, was based upon the political theology of Joshua Watson, the great Church Schools pioneer from the eighteenth century. In addition, a period of study leave led Rob to write a theological thesis on the creative use of church buildings. Indeed, whilst Rector of Hackney, the Church of St John at Hackney was reordered so that most aspects of Hackney life could be experienced, from concerts by Coldplay, Gary Barlow and Emilie Sande, jobs fairs, credit unions, to the most used knife amnesty bin in London. The reordering led to a reordering of its relationship with the local community, which became so needed in the aftermath of the disturbances in 2011.
Two Storm Wood by Philip Gray is the choice for this month's Church Times Book Club. On the podcast this week, Richard Lamey, who has written this month's essay about the book, is in conversation with Sarah Meyrick. Two Storm Wood is set immediately after the First World War, when special battalions were given the grim task of retrieving the dead from the battlefields of northern France. A bold young woman, Amy Vanneck, sets out across the Channel to find out what became of her fiancé, who was listed as “missing, presumed dead”. Her search uncovers some unsettling truths, not only about her fiancé, a former teacher and choirmaster, but the other young soldiers traumatised by the hell of trench warfare. The novel picks up pace and tension as a gruesome discovery is made by Captain Mackenzie, and, together with Amy, a hunt begins to track down the psychopath responsible for this atrocious war crime.

Easter. It's the biggest weekend on the Christian calendar, but the church buildings are closed thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Clergy across the world are adapting and meeting their congregations online. But why's COVID-19 happening, or more specifically, why's God letting it happen? It's a question that all of the clergy in this podcast have addressed, along with others. All of the contributors recorded their responses to the same questions.UK Prison Chaplain, Elaine WykesAnglican Priest, Melbourne, Victoria: Valentina EmmanuelAnglican Priest for the parish of the Goldfields, Western Australia: Elizabeth SmithPastor, Highland Park Baptist Church, Austin, Texas: Cheryl KimbleArchdeacon of Essendon, Victoria: Vanessa BennettVicar and Area Dean of the Bellarine area Deanery, Victoria: Elizabeth BreakeyParish of North Beach, Perth: Reverend Frida LemiMusic tracks provided by https://www.purple-planet.com thank you.Here's a transcript of this podcast: https://www.wattswhere.co.uk/transcript-together-in-isolation
Every Contact Leaves A Trace, Jonathan Hillman, Area Dean
Hosted by Revd Joe Pienaar, Vicar of St.Hugh's & Area Dean of Luton. So often we look at what Jesus said (His words) and what he did (His works), but fail to consider the way in which he conducted ministry (His ways). We will spend time exploring the doctrines of Missio Dei, Trinity and Incarnation and the theme of ‘Family on mission’ as Jesus way of bringing these three doctrines together in a lived reality – a life lived in mission.
Our Guest this weekend was the Area Dean, Rev Anthony. He preached to us from John's account of Jesus clearing the temple, encouraging us to consider the things in our own life that stop us from putting God first.

Discussions of teaching -- even some publications -- abound with anecdotal evidence. Our intuition often supplants a systematic, scientific approach to finding out what works and what doesn't work. Yet, research is increasingly demonstrating that our gut feelings about teaching are often wrong. In this talk, Dr. Mazur will discuss how he uses classroom data to make decisions about how he teaches and to change how his students learn. About Dr. Mazur Eric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University and Area Dean of Applied Physics. An internationally recognized scientist and researcher, he leads a vigorous research program in optical physics and supervises one of the largest research groups in the Physics Department at Harvard University. In addition to his work in optical physics, Dr. Mazur is interested in education, science policy, outreach, and the public perception of science. He believes that better science education for all -- not just science majors -- is vital for continued scientific progress. To this end, Dr. Mazur devotes part of his research group's effort to education research and finding verifiable ways to improve science education. In 1990 he began developing Peer Instruction, a method for teaching large lecture classes interactively. Dr. Mazur's teaching method has developed a large following, both nationally and internationally, and has been adopted across many disciplines, all over the world. Professor Mazur is also a founder of Learning Catalytics, a cloud-based technology that enables instructors to engage students with authentic formative assessments in real time, and rich data analytics to drive student interactions. About Making Decisions with Data The Making Decisions with Data website is a collaboration of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and The University of Texas at Austin designed to help educators use data to make decisions that improve teaching and learning. The website is designed for a range of educators, including teachers and administrators at the K-12 and post-secondary levels.
