Selina Stone: activism, rest and the art of tarrying - Godpod 189

Season 1, Ep. 189

What is ‘good’ hope? Does God show up in tangible ways? How can we work for a better world, without burning ourselves out? These are just some of the questions that Dr Selina Stone helps Graham, Jane and Micheal to ponder in this episode of GodPod.


Selina is currently at Durham university but has just been appointed Lecturer in Theology and Ethics at the University of Edinburgh, remarkably making her the first black female theologian to have obtained a lectureship in a British University. She is also the host of ‘Sunday School for Misfits’ podcast and author of ‘Tarry Awhile’, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent book for 2024 – which can, and should, be read all year round.

 

Join us for this honest, profound and hope-filled conversation.
