What does it mean to approach theology ‘feet-first'? Why should churches in the UK and the West more generally engage with global theologies, and what might they learn in the process? What are some ways in which the history of Christian mission is being complexified and re-storied? For instance, how have Dalit Christians been missionaries to the missionaries? And finally, how can learning about different contexts in the global church help reinvigorate the ways we work together for justice and peace? In today's show we are talking to the Rev'd Dr Peniel Rajkumar. Peniel is an Anglican priest and a theologian. Last summer he was appointed as the Global Theologian at USPG and as an associate tutor at Ripon College, Cuddeston. Prior to this he was Programme Coordinator for Interreligious Dialogue and Cooperation at the World Council of Churches. He has also held teaching positions at the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey and the United Theological College in Bangalore, and has written extensively on Dalit theology, missiology and interfaith dialogue.
In this episode we are focusing on the COVID tyranny in Italy and it was wonderful to discuss this with Dr Jules Gomes, who is the Rome Correspondent for Church Militant and he never holds back with his views and strong opinions. Jules was able to give an insight into the controls imposed on the Italian people through the Green Pass that separates the jabbed from unjabbed and seeks to restrict and punish those who do want a novel experimental gene therapy. Dr Gomes also brings his fascinating insights into the inadequacies of the Catholic Church and the failings of the Pope to stand up for people's freedoms. What hope is there for a country like Italy that is strongly Catholic if the Pope himself has succumbed to COVID controls and medical tyranny? Dr Jules Gomes (BA, BD, MTh, PhD) is a Journalist, Academic and Social Conservative. Dr Jules Gomes is the Rome correspondent for Church Militant, he used to write the weekly ‘Rebel Priest' column for The Conservative Woman and has been a columnist for Frontpage Mag and Republic Standard amongst others. Dr Jules earned his doctorate from the University of Cambridge and taught at the United Theological College, London School of Theology, and Liverpool Hope University. He has been vocal on issues during the COVID pandemic such as masks, vaccines, Big Pharma, George Soros and the creeping global tyranny as well as Islam, climate change and LGBTQ issues, always holding The Vatican to account. The most journalistically driven, polished, professional reporting on the Catholic church and its worldview comes from Church Militant. That news source, founded and run by laymen, turns a probing eye at church people and doings. It frequently makes enemies. Which means it's doing its job.

I sat down with Brian Kōlia to discuss his diasporic/postcolonial work on Ecclesiastes, his Tulou reading of Song of Songs (and its constructive implications for animal studies), his Fāgogo reading of Gen 3 (and its ability to cross taboos and allow more liberative conversations on sexuality), and teaching the Prophets in ways that preserve their distinctiveness and speaks into our times. What comes across is the vitality of this work and its nimbleness to not be tied down by the forms, questions, and big T truth of colonial forms of Christianity and academia. Brian is teaching an intensive on the Prophetic Literature at United Theological College in North Parramatta from Jan 18-22.

Dustin Plantholt’s “Life’s Tough—You Can Be Tougher” podcast this week features Dr. Craig Wright, an Australian/Antiguan computer scientist, businessman, lecturer and inventor. Acknowledged by some as the creator of Bitcoin and author of the Bitcoin white paper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Dr. Wright is one of the pioneers behind blockchain technology and established nChain to allow the technology to flourish in its intended purpose. Born in Australia in October of 1970, Dr. Wright graduated from high school in 1987 from Padua College in Brisbane—Australia’s third most populous city—and then began his professional career as an adjunct academic and researcher at Charles Sturt University, where he was working on his PhD entitled "The Quantification of Information Systems Risk." Wright’s PhD in computer science from Charles Sturt University was awarded to him in February 2017. Dr. Wright has more than 25 years of experience in the fields of information technology and security, having worked for various companies, including OzEmail, K-Mart, the Australian Securities Exchange and Mahindra & Mahindra. He was involved in the design of the architecture for possibly the world's first online casino, Lasseter's Online (based in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, AU), which went online in 1999. In addition, he was the information systems manager for the accounting firm BDO Kendalls and was the CEO of the technology firm Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence Group (Hotwire PE), which planned to launch Denariuz Bank, the world's first bitcoin-based bank, though it encountered regulatory difficulties with the Australian Tax Office and failed in 2014.

Among his positions, he was the vice president of the Centre for Strategic Cyberspace and Security Science (CSCSS; www.cscss.org) with a focus on collaborating government bodies in securing cyber systems. Dr. Wright also worked on systems that protected the Australian Stock Exchange and has trained Australian government and corporate departments in SCADA security, cyber warfare, and cyber defense. Many of Dr. Wright’s research findings and publications continue to be presented at academic and business conferences. As the Chief Scientist at nChain, Dr. Wright oversees the scientific functions of the company, including basic and applied research projects and the development of new processes, technologies, and products. He leads a team of world-class blockchain engineers and researchers who strive to deliver cutting-edge solutions to global clients. Among his many achievements are industry certifications: GSE CISSP, CISA, CISM, CCE, GCFA, GLEG, GREM, and GSPA, and in addition to his PhD from Charles Sturt University, he has a Doctor of Theology (ThD) from United Theological College awarded in 2003, a master’s degree in Statistics, and a master’s degree in International Commercial Law. Dr. Wright is currently a candidate for two additional PhDs: in Law at the University of Leicester and Applied Mathematics at University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Join Dustin and Dr. Craig Wright for an open conversation on the pitfalls and triumphs of his career in this emerging world-changing phenomenon—blockchain and cryptocurrency—and hear how he ignores the naysayers and propels forward to educate our world.

I sat down with Michael Mawson to talk discipleship, suffering, weakness, and the way of the cross. I start by asking if discipleship is inextricably tied to concepts such as these and if so, is being a disciple of Christ something we should wish on anyone... from there we range through a number of related topics and interesting thinkers from M. Shawn Copeland, to Julian of Norwich, Martin Luther to Dietrich Bonhoeffer. And we end with a helpful discussion on how this focus on the weakness of God as the locus of our salvation and basis of our faith shapes how we approach Christian mission and evangelism. If you're interested in exploring these ideas further, Mike is teaching a course with through United Theological College (Charles Sturt University) in Port Macquarie NEXT WEEK (starting Jan 20) which you can audit.
