A number of people have asked me to share the keynote presentations for the Bible Study series I did at the ECG Conference in Scarborough over the last few days.
Not sure how much help the raw visuals are...but here they are.

What I think is intriguing is what is going on with God and Religion on different sides of the Atlantic.
The other day, GodandPolitics released a transcript of Cameron's address to a gathering of Christians from Church and Charity. It seems that the speech was adlib because he says he is going to make three points and makes about seven, in places it doesn't make sense and in total its a bit of a disaster from oratorical viewpoint.
On the other hand, Obama made a polished and professional speech at the Third Annual Prayer Breakfast. It is wonderful - great flourishes, great sentiment, declarations of faith and a deep understanding of the tradition which he is inheriting. Very impressive. Obama does God and does God well. Compared to Cameron, he is streets and streets ahead!
Cameron - well, whatever the good Anglicans are teaching him in West London...I think he needs to listen up a bit more in church on Sunday!

I did a guest article yesterday over on Transpositions blog. It was about Art and Embodiment and Digital Culture. The conversation has been going on ever since with some fascinating comments (38 so far!). I am particularly intrigued by Sam, a Mennonite contributor who just doesn't get my aversion to words and who sees words as central to our understanding of God - much more than images. I've experienced the same here in Durham too.
Well, I thought I would put a link to the article so that you could enjoy the conversation but I also wanted to give a litany of thanks to those who go beyond words:
I'm so glad that everything isn't limited to words. I am so glad that words do not mediate my experience of the divine or of his creation. I am so pleased that God has written himself and his imagery into everything I see. I simply do not agree that we need to be bound by words as the conveyors of all meaning. Thank God for the mystics and for apophatic theology. Thank God for the cloud of unknowing. Thank God that he is beyond words. Thank God for sign language, indeed for signs of any kinds like rainbows and hearts and fish and the cross which convey more than words could ever say. Thank God for artists of every hue who put into their creations that which words could not possibly convey. I'm with the post-structuralists who see in our fealty to words simply logocentricism as a cipher for the power of the rational over the experiential. But then I would...

This is a very interesting article. A number of people have talked about adapting technology to create a form of skin input device and here are the first two ideas. Not sure either of them are the killer application yet but they are on the way. Throw away the handset and embed the technology in your own body. Next they'll be talking about contact lenses as screens...oh, they did already? Very interesting given my upcoming paper on Haptic Theology and the conference in Graz...
