Podcast appearances and mentions of christina rees

From the Archives: First Aired in 2011, today's Classic Replay takes an in-depth look at some of the most contentious passages in the Bible when it comes to women's roles and leadership in the Church. In 1995 the Church of England allowed the ordination of Women priests, but the question of whether the Bible forbids female authority in the church remains today. Christina Rees is a writer and broadcaster and served on the Archbishop's Council and the General Synod for 25 years. For many years Christina was Chair of WATCH (Women and the Church), the group that led the campaign for women bishops and that works for women's equality in the Church. Our other guest is the Rev John Richardson, who disagrees with female ordination. John was a speaker, lecturer and a member of the former conservative Evangelical grouping Reform within the CofE. John passed away a few years after this episode in 2014. Today's guests debate passages in the New Testament that appear to forbid women speaking in Church, the role of husbands and wives and the practical realities of men and women being church leaders.

Welcome to The Old Dog Pack Show — the world's premier podcast regarding the mind, body, soul, and money of the middle-aged man. In Episode 80, our heroes discuss noodling, canoodling, bull riding, and other shit that men might be shamed into doing in order to impress their friends. But wait—there's more! The boys are able to reach the incomparable Christina Rees on the ODP Guest Line. Besides being the sister of host Dr. Brian Rees, Christina is a purveyor, surveyor, and curator of the arts and is a prolific writer. During a time in which many are scared shitless to speak their minds, Christina has penned an article about self-censorship that is a reminder that the good ol' days were, in many respects, better. After listening to this episode, you will undoubtedly be inspired, impressed and wondering which one of these two Reeses was adopted.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss artist Jens Haaning's recent viral artwork, 'Take the Money and Run,' and also discuss David Hockney's recent essay about the state of abstraction. "This is the kind of thing that makes taxpayers angry in the U.S. … and this is the kind of thing that gets artists into hot water and gives them a really bad name."

As the Rt. Rev. Jonathan Goodall, the Anglican Bishop of Ebbsfleet resigns to become a Roman Catholic, we explore what it means for both faiths. Our Presenter Edward Stourton is joined by Christina Rees, who was a member of the Church of England's Synod for twenty five years and also a prominent campaigner for the ordination of women, and the Right Reverend Monsignor Keith Newton, who is responsible for the Ordinariate of our Lady of Walsingham. John Viney, a former Jehovah's Witness Elder along with a former Witness whom we are calling Sarah, give us their reactions to the latest Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse Report Father Mychal Judge lost his life in the attack on the Twin Towers. His was the first death to be formally certified and he was identified as Victim 0001. As the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 looms, his friend and colleague Salvatore Sapienza and Francis DeBernado, Director of the New Ways Ministry, who has been working on Father Michael's biography, reflect on the life of the Firefighter's Chaplain. As the Taliban begins to form a Government, how do UK Muslims feel about the prospect of a new Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan? We've been getting the views of different sections of the British Muslim population. Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish New Year. But what does it symbolise and how is it traditionally celebrated? Different traditions observe the festival in slightly different ways as Esther Offenberg, Molly Taylor and Joe Hyman explain. Whilst many of the richer nations complete their vaccination programmes, many poorer countries have barely started. So how do we rectify this vaccine imbalance. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown discusses the issue with our Presenter Edward Stourton.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the effects that time has on our likes, dislikes, and perceptions about art. "The art that makes you uncomfortable, or that you don't understand or that you've been dismissive of — that's the stuff that can ultimately sneak up on you and become what you value the most."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the optics and the reality of Hunter Biden's quest to be an artist.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss how the recent cultural swing toward honesty and sincerity has affected comedy, art, and music.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the things about the art world we don’t miss, the things we do miss, and how to pace yourself when venturing back out.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the proliferation of private museums in the U.S. "Nowadays, museums are trying to figure out what the pubic wants and will show up for, and there's a kind of need for the spectacular.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech on the ongoing debate about museums deaccessioning objects from their permanent collections.

Inspired by the career of Clint Willour, Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the transformational impact a single person can have on an art scene.  "Even though we're not in a 'major art scene' (although we really are, here in Texas), we have a lot of people who are making a powerful impact."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss artists' use of windows as makeshift galleries and question if cities should force businesses to put art in empty storefronts. "To be fined for not putting art in your windows — that concept honestly blows my mind... it's the opposite of what we're used to."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech talk about nativity scenes, Christmas art, and the inherent kitschiness of our beloved holiday traditions.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech talk about the opening of the MFAH's landmark new building for modern and contemporary art. "My overall impression is that this building is good for Houston, good for the art, good for the MFAH of course, and it's great for art lovers.

Christopher Blay, Christina Rees, and Brandon Zech talk about what the recent postponement of a show of works by Philip Guston says about museums and culture today.  "If museums continue their history of being traditionally white spaces, then when you put a painting of the KKK in them, it will be reinforcing that white space. If you have the diversity of a great multitude of art and artists in those spaces, then they become true places for dialogue and learning."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss the art world's (still nascent) use of virtual and augmented reality, how VR undercuts traditional art experiences, and its real potential in the hands of artists.  "For somebody who has so many doubts about where the digital revolution is taking us, I'm actually quite excited about virtual reality in art, because I do think that artists will continue to push the boundaries of what it can be ... I do think a lot of artists are capable of doing something that we haven't imagined yet." If you enjoy Glasstire and would like to support our work, please consider donating.

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss a recent shakeup in the New York gallery scene and how the pandemic will affect art galleries in the long term.  "It’s hard not to believe that about 30% or more of galleries will be gone by this time next year." "They’ll either be gone, or they’ll be some sort of shell of their former selves."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss all of the weirdness we love (and hate) about the art world. "When you hear about stolen artwork you may as well grieve the death of that work because you may never see it anywhere again."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss what makes our homes homey, the overwhelming sameness of airbnbs and other urban spaces, and how the pandemic is affecting our view of home life. "I think a lot of these conversations address the question: is there a way to make spaces more flexible, versatile and humane?"

Christopher Blay and Christina Rees talk about the events of the last few weeks, and whether black artists are holding out hope that this moment will move the needle on racial violence and injustice. “I think artists aren’t waiting for museums and galleries to create a response to what’s happening in the world. I think it's either something that infects you and invades your work, or something that’s always a part of who you are and you can’t make anything else.“

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees talk about their visit to the newly reopened Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. "My whole point in visiting the museum was to answer the questions ‘Can I enjoy the art?' Can I get through the distraction of the sense of being out in public?"

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech walk you through the surprisingly unstressful process of buying excellent art online, at all price points. “Have fun with it. Buying art online is an interesting adventure, and right now it’s going to a very good cause.

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees talk about Marina Abramović, the Kennedy assassination, and why conspiracy theories and art don't tend to mix. "People in the art world are kind of Teflon about this.

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees take an optimistic view of a more collaborative future for Texas art, artists, and institutions, and their more appreciative audiences. "There’s a lot of sweat equity that artists are willing to put into their own shows if you give them the space in a museum."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss how artists and arts workers will adapt to and navigate our new landscape. "The only people who are going to be making art are people who really are artists and really want to make art. And they'll have to do it without thinking that they're going to make a living off of it."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss the difficulties faced by museums and nonprofits, the government stimulus bill, and the possible closure of art schools as a result of the pandemic. "This is still early days. I was talking to somebody on the phone who knows a lot about higher education, and he was sounding the alarm, essentially saying that he thinks a number of universities are going to shut because of this." This week’s podcast is supported in part by The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and their program 'Being There: Revisiting Tuesday Evenings' at the Modern, a rebroadcast of past Tuesday Evenings lectures on YouTube. Terri Thornton, Curator of Education, will introduce each presentation, with an online chat to follow. Join the museum, as usual, on Tuesdays from 7-8 PM for the program.

Christina Rees talks with Michael Auping, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth's Chief Curator from 1993 to 2017, about the Modern's presentation of his current exhibition 'Mark Bradford: End Papers.' "I was feeling like abstraction had really dried up, that it had really come to the end of the line. And then I found Mark Bradford. And I thought, ‘Ah ha, here’s another rabbit hole that we can really go down.’"

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss the effect of the novel coronavirus on Texas-based galleries, museums, and artists.  "I’m most afraid for mid-tier galleries and nonprofits."

Christina Rees talks to Terri Thornton, Curator of Education at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of her long-running, acclaimed guest lecture series Tuesday Evenings at The Modern. "I have a real fondness for the brains of artists. People laugh about artists not being good communicators and I just think that’s a load of crap."

Christina Rees and Neil Fauerso on their most bonkers movie-going experiences, and why you should still see movies on the big screen. "The best films of cinema are better than any TV show that’s ever been made… and that really comes through when you see the films in a movie theater."

Christopher Blay, Christina Rees, and guests Heyd Fontenot and Dean Daderko discuss the ins and outs of a successful artist residency. "I want a residency to change my perspective — you want to make something new and to be affected by the space, the place, and the people."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss what to expect from art in Texas over the next ten years. "I see smaller, more splintered audiences that are more passionate. And then I see this whole other art world that really is about theme-park entertainment."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss their favorite Texas art exhibitions from the past decade. “I was really shaken by this show. Even talking about it is taking me back to that place.”

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss all of the ways you can gift art in the holiday season. "I try not to be too much of a bully about giving art away as a Christmas gift. I certainly don’t want my friends and family to be like ‘oh my god, here we go with the art again.'"

Christina Rees talks with Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth curator Alison Hearst about the museum's acclaimed Focus exhibition series, the politics of art acquisitions, and the work of current Focus artist Martine Gutierrez. "The way the Focus series works here is that we only work with artists who aren't in our collection, so there's a lot of things I'm thinking about when I'm planning these shows: who isn't represented in our collection? Where are the holes in our acquisitions, and also where are the holes in the exhibition programming in Texas and beyond?"

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss whether or not big-name art attractions are worth braving the crowds.

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees on the life and work of The Art Guys, a collaborative duo comprised of Jack Massing and Michael Galbreth.

And it’s different from having a network of artists you work with."

In this Art Dirt podcast Brandon Zech and Christina Rees talk about what makes each of Texas' distinct art regions tick.  "If you don't want to play by any rules and you don't give a crap about any sort of establishment codes of how to do things, Dallas could be an interesting place to make your mark."

That’s about the protection of employers, not employees.”

In 1995 the Church of England allowed the ordination of Women priests.  But the question of whether the Bible forbids female authority in the church remains. Christina Rees serves on the Archbishop's Council and the General Synod.  She advocates for women in ministry and female Bishops.  John Richardson of the conservative Evangelical grouping Reform within the CofE disagrees with female ordination. They debate Passages in the New Testament that appear to forbid women speaking in Church, the role of husbands and wives and the practical realities of men and women being church leaders.  For Women and the Church http://womenandthechurch.org/ For Christina Rees' book "Apostolic Women, Apostolic Authority" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apostolic-women-apostolic-authority-transfiguring/dp/1848250401 For John Richardson http://www.ugleyvicar.blogspot.com/ For more Christian/non-Christian debate visit http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable or get the MP3 podcast http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx or Via Itunes If you enjoyed this programme you may also enjoy: Unbelievable? 29 May 2010 - Homosexuality and the Bible This first show addresses the main scriptural passages that relate to homosexuality.
