Special guests this week are leaders at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity - Chief Executive Officer Paul Woolley, and Director of Church Relations, Ken Benjamin - they're asking - how might Jesus live your life? - or my life ? The LICC exists to 'join the dots' between church life and life outside the church - to show that in a healthy and caring society, there really should be no divide between the two - all life belongs to God - which means that everything we do is sacred .....And Anglican priest Rev'd Sharon Grenham Thompson returns to talk about St Francis of Assisi - and the power of a single sunbeam ....Plus we have music - from the St Michael Singers, Graham Kendrick and Paul Baloche, and Katherine Jenkins - and our usual busy notice board!

Henry Rinnan. En forræder, en iskald psykopat, og samtidig en sjarmerende kremmer og familiefar. Hvem var han? Hvor kom ondskapen hans fra? I denne episoden møter du romanaktuelle Nicolaj Frobenius i samtale med psykolog og forfatter Espen Skorstad og filosof Arne Johan Vetlesen. Du møter: Nikolaj Frobenius debuterte i 1986 med dikt- og tekstsamlingen Virvl. Hans internasjonale gjennombrudd kom med romanen Latours katalog (1996). Han er utdannet ved filmlinjen på The London Institute og har skrevet flere filmmanuskripter, blant annet thrilleren Insomnia (1997), som senere ble nyinnspilt i Hollywood. Han skrev også manuset til filmen Sønner av Norge (2011), som bygger på hans egen roman Teori og praksis. Nicolaj Frobenius er høsten 2024 aktuell med romanen Rasende lys. Arne Johan Vetlesen er en norsk filosof. Han ble dr.philos. i 1993, førsteamanuensis i filosofi ved Universitetet i Oslo 1993–1998 og deretter professor samme sted. Vetlesen har arbeidet innenfor feltene etikk og sosialfilosofi, mer presist med betydningen av følelser i moral, nærhetsetikk, ondskapen og dens manifestasjoner (Holocaust, etnisk rensning i Bosnia).Espen Skorstad (f. 1970) er psykolog og forfatter. Han var med å grunnlegge selskapet cut-e, som i 2017 ble kjøpt av det multinasjonale selskapet Aon. Han arbeider med organisasjonspsykologi, og har tidligere gitt ut boken Rett person på rett plass.

Recording of our September 24th, 2024 webinar with Sarit Michaeli. This conversation was hosted by Madeleine Cereghino. Gaza and the Occupied Territories in general are at the forefront of conversations around the world– horrific medical scenarios, inhumane treatment of Palestinian civilians, and utterly abhorrent forms of abuse taking place in Israeli prisons and on the ground in Occupied land. B'Tselem is among the leading organizations serving as a resource for facts, figures, and personal stories and putting together the picture of just how dire the circumstances have become. To discuss the “humanitarian disaster zone” of the current Israel-Gaza war, we spoke with Sarit Michaeli, the International advocacy lead for B'Tselem.  Sarit has been at B'Tselem since 2004 and coordinates the organization's work with international policymakers, diplomats, and civil society. Prior to her current role, Sarit was B'Tselem's media spokesperson and director of public outreach. Sarit documents demonstrations in the West Bank, with a focus on Israeli security forces and misuse of crowd control weapons, and is active in Israel's anti-Occupation movement. Sarit has an MA (Distinction) in Gender Studies from Birkbeck College, University of London, and a BA in graphic design from Camberwell College of Art, the London Institute. Prior to joining B'Tselem, Sarit worked as a journalist, graphic designer, and translator in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, London, and New York.

Artificial intelligence is changing our lives. Many of us use the voice activated features on our phones to recognise, understand and fairly complex speech. Students use ChatGPT to do their homework. And doctors use AI algorithms to help diagnose many diseases from medical data. But how is AI changing the lives of mathematicians? In this podcast we speak to Yang-Hui He from the London Institute of Mathematical Sciences about his recent work on the evocatively titled murmuration conjecture. This exciting new conjecture came about due to both artificial and human intelligence, and reveals patterns in the prime numbers that look like flocks of birds.   A murmuration of starlings. Photo: Walter Baxter, CC BY-SA 2.0.   We were speaking to Yang as part of our coverage of the research programme, Black holes: bridges between number theory and holographic quantum information, held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences  in Cambridge.  The programme  brought together a fascinating array of experts in black holes and quantum theory, with mathematicians and computer scientists.

The synod process in the Catholic Church is attracting interest from other Christian denominations, including from unexpected quarters.  In this episode, I interviewed Neil Hudson, a Pentecostal pastor for 30 years. He is a senior leader at the Elim church in Salford, the northwest of England, and has worked at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity.  Neil recently took part in a significant synod gathering of Christian thinkers and leaders at Durham University to discuss the synodal process and admits that a generation ago, a Pentecostal minister would never have participated in a Catholic-led event.  Nevertheless, he says that “what is happening in the Catholic Church has to be, to my mind at least, reflective of the Gospel” and that Pope Francis has connected with Christians from the Charismatic and Pentecostal traditions.  “This Pope seems to speak the language that would not be out of place in a Pentecostal setting,” he says.   Neal warns that the synod process should avoid becoming a series of “committee meetings” and needs to connect with ordinary believers and build up people's faith. He insists that the decline of the church is not inevitable and finishes our discussion with an instructive — and very synodal — story about accompanying those searching for God.  Producer: Silvia Sacco Editor: Jamie Weston

Eukaryotic cells manage to pull off a number of remarkable feats. One is packing quite a long DNA molecule, with potentially billions of base pairs, into a tiny central nucleus. A key role is played by histones, proteins that provide scaffolding for DNA to wrap around. Histones also appear in archaea (one of the other domains of life), but until recently there wasn't evidence for them in bacteria (the final of the three domains). Todays guest, Tobias Warnecke, is an author on a recent paper that claims to provide such evidence. We discuss this new result, as well as background questions of how cells evolved and what their current structure can teach us about their histories.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Tobias Warnecke received his Ph.D. in biology from the University of Bath. He is currently a Programme Leader and MRC Investigator at the London Institute of Medical Sciences. He is a co-author on A. Hochner et al.

He shares some his lab's research with listeners, explaining What they found when studying colorectal cancer drugs and microbial metabolism, How metformin interacts with microbial physiologies to alter metabolic syndrome, and What future studies he hopes to instigate involving the vast genetic diversity in some of these microbes, even within the same species, and medical impactions for treatment. Filipe Cabreiro holds a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship in the London Institute of Medical Sciences at the Imperial College of London. His lab works to understand how the microbiome interacts with a host's physiology—how the microbes that one produces interact with others, especially when both are challenged by daily medications taken to deal with disease and in the conditions of aging. The lab recently made an important discovery in the context of cancer drugs: they found that classic drugs for colorectal cancer were modified by microbial metabolism that reduced or amplified the action of the drugs. Further, they found that certain components of food could change that response.  He also discusses a study on metformin, a drug taken for type 2 diabetes, and its interaction with the microbiome. They found that nutrients, the host's microbiome, and the drug interact in an important way. Metformin makes selective pressures on certain gut microbes, which translates into longer lasting change associated with positive effects. They think metformin pushes for certain conditions that allow some healthful microbes to survive and also pushes strong metabolic change. The consequences of that change is the production of molecules such as fatty acids and others that can actively regulate the host's physiology and metabolism. He explains the nature of this interaction and the significance in more detail along with challenges to these kinds of studies, further hypotheses, and future research he hopes to take on.

The youngest of six children, Lisa Cupolo grew up in the Honeymoon Capital of the World: Niagara Falls, Canada. At thirteen, she was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and spent much of her teens and twenties battling illness. She has spoken about how this trial was actually one of the blessings of her life, because it led her to writing. She learned to escape, creating stories when reality got difficult, and she imagined herself living the lives of her characters, and in the real world, she became an observer. Always a spiritual seeker, Lisa has a BA in philosophy from The University of Western Ontario. In her second year, her single mother put a second mortgage on their suburban home so Lisa could study in Nice, France. That changed everything.    She spent the next decade in Europe and her health improved dramatically. She completed a graduate degree in Portrait Photography from The London Institute in England and worked a stint as a paparazzi photographer in London and published celebrity photos in Hello Magazine and The Daily Telegraph and travel shots with Dorling Kindersley and Thomas Cook travel guidebooks. She continued to dream of being a writer.Back in Canada, her professional life turned toward championing artists, as a photo editor at a stock agency in Toronto and at the Banff Centre for the Arts supporting visual artist residencies. She spent a year in Kisumu, Kenya working at an orphanage and traveling in east Africa and eastern Europe.  After reading Carol Shield's novel, "Unless," Lisa knew she had to pursue her passion for writing and was offered an entry level job at HarperCollins back in Toronto. While there, she wrote in the early mornings before work. In time, she became a literary publicist and represented some of her favorite writers: Elmore Leonard, Neil Gaiman, Lionel Shriver, Helen Humphreys, among others, and threw some terrific literary parties with Brick Magazine.  When she met her husband, writer Richard Bausch, Lisa moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where they had their daughter Lila.  She completed an MFA in fiction at the University of Memphis and began publishing stories and finished her novel.  They now live in Southern California and Lisa is at work on a memoir and teaches creative writing at Chapman University.

With the recent death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, her life of service and character has been honoured and spoken about throughout society. Her Christian faith was the source of those qualities, admired by everyone from prime ministers to hairdressers. What a great time to show our friends or colleagues that these qualities of servant leadership they respect and value are modelled on Christ's own Kingly service.Ex-New York Adman, formerly London School of Theology vice-Principal, Mark Greene is Mission Champion at the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC). A pioneer of workplace ministry and whole-life discipleship, his books include Thank God it's Monday, Imagine how we can reach the UK, Fruitfulness on the Frontline, and, with Catherine Butcher, the million-copy selling The Servant Queen and the King She Serves.

Decisions are about change. To make effective decisions, you need to understand how change works. Change can happen at different levels, from small improvements to big paradigm shifts. Change happens at different speeds, too - some changes are immediate while others take longer to manifest. There are different types of changes, too. Some changes are pre-determined by what will bring joy, pleasure, or happiness. Other changes are more mindful decisions. And some changes are pivotal decisions that should be made with a well-oiled system in place to avoid bias. Michael Moon and Steven Gans are working on a project called "Decisions Zen”, which is a book about how to make better decisions faster, easier, and with less stress.  Michael Moon is an author, speaker, and advisor who helps entrepreneurs and executives create disruptive innovation and transformational change. He is the author of Firebrands: Building Brand Loyalty in the Internet Age and Gratitude Protocols: Practical Habits of Solitude, Gratitude, and Abiding Love. Moon is a thought leader in the areas of transmedia branding, customer engagement, and personal growth. He has worked with some of the world's largest brands, including Adobe, Apple, Boeing, Disney, Gap, Nokia, and Warner Bros. Moon's work reflects his belief that we all have the potential to create positive change in our lives and in the world. Dr Steven Gans is the founder and former chairman of the London Institute for Management Studies. He was previously a Professor and Supervisor at Antioch University in California.

The report says some countries will fall into recession in 2023, but that it's too early to say for sure whether there will be a global recession. We get more analysis from one of the report's authors, Franziska Ohnsorge. The UK's finance ministry is considering removing limits on bankers' bonuses. How will this affect its financial services industry, and and is the government right to do this in a cost of living crisis? We speak to Pete Hahn, emeritus professor at the London Institute of Banking and Finance. Kenya's new President William Ruto has scrapped a petrol subsidy, and retail prices are now at an all-time high. The BBC's Charles Gitonga reports from Nairobi. And rapper Kanye West wants to terminate his partnership with the retailer Gap. He says Gap hasn't fulfilled the terms of their contract, which was aimed at breathing new life into its brand. Julie Zerbo, founder of The Fashion Law website, analyses what this will mean for both parties. Will Bain is joined throughout the programme by Paddy Hirsch, contributing editor at NPR in Los Angeles, and by Yoko Ishikura, professor emeritus at Hitotsubashi University and currently a member of the World Economic Forum's Expert Network, who's in Tokyo.

In this special one-off episode, Tim speaks with Mark Greene from the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity about Queen Elizabeth II, her faith and decades of service. We consider her own particularly Biblical vision for how constitutional monarchy should work in post-war and post-Imperial Britain, and we explore how her deeply-held Christian faith shaped a lifetime of service. How did this mostly silent figurehead become the most admired public Christian in Britain and quietly expound the gospel year after year in an increasingly secular country? You can find out more about Mark's book, The Servant Queen and the King She Serves, here – https://licc.org.uk/ourresources/the-queens-faith/ Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com

Humans live meaningful lives with the knowledge they will eventually die, but an increasing amount of money and resources are being put into researching whether we can significantly prolong the aging process. There's a growing field of scientific research dedicated to staving off both the physical and mental changes that tend to accompany older age. According to The New Statesman, this anti-aging industry, also referred to as the “immortality industry” will be worth 610 billion dollars by 2025. But if we do extend life beyond the bounds of present day medicine, what would that mean for humanity, and the planet? For more on this, we spoke with Thomas Fink, founder and director of the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences, about his understanding of anti-aging and immortality, and the physics behind it.

Elaine Storkey is a philosopher and sociologist who has worked for many years at the interface of the Church and the Academy. Her postgraduate studies were on Wittgenstein after which she has taught in many universities and colleges around the world, particularly in the UK and North America (with various posts in Oxford and Cambridge). She has published several books, many of which are concerned with issues of evangelicalism, gender and feminism, justice and Christian social action.   In the 1980s, John Stott invited her to teach at The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, where she developed courses in Christian Worldview amongst other things. Then in 1991 she succeeded him as director and led the institution until 1999. Since then she has continued to write and be involved in all kinds of ministries around the world, including stints as A Rocha, the Micah Challenge, the University of Gloucester, Restored and Tearfund (becoming its president in 1997).   Elaine Storkey's website and information on her books More on LICC More on Tearfund More on Restored: Ending violence against Women  Produced by Langham Partnership UKI.        

José de Segovia is a Spanish journalist based in Madrid with a particular interest in arts and culture. But that is not the only string to his bow, as he has also pursued theological studies at various points in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK. In 1982, he spent six months at the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity and as a result, got to know John Stott as a teacher, mentor and friend. Since then, he has felt Uncle John's influence keenly, not least because he has spent his entire professional life taking Stott's principle of double listening seriously. Along side his journalism, he has taught theology in several institutions and is a pastor at the Reformed Church in Madrid. He has also been very involved in the Spanish Evangelical Alliance, and at John Stott's recommendation, was one of the World Evangelical Alliance's representatives in its theological dialogues with the Vatican.   More on LICC José's blog (in Spanish) - including many posts about John Stott José's podcast series about John Stott (in Spanish) Reformed Church of Madrid (where José pastors)
