“O Tempora! O Mores Evangelici!” 8. Circumnavigating Church ‘Inner-Rings’

This one's been a struggle, strangely. Hence the delay. I keep returning to the fact that Lewis' original essay is entirely sufficient on the matter. So if you've not read The Inner Ring yet, or recently, then please do so.…

“O Tempora! O Mores Evangelici!” 7. The Inner Ring of Race

“O Tempora! O Mores Evangelici!” 6. Who needs a hero?

This is the 6th post in a short series trying to grapple with today’s sense of malaise in British evangelicalism. One of my favourite novels ever does not, at first sight, have the kind of plot to inspire confidence. Not…

“O Tempora! O Mores Evangelici!” 4. Down A Nietzsche Rabbit-hole

We had a week beside the sea, last week. Nothing quite like the North Sea in October! Blustery Norfolk skies and coastal walks are the perfect combo. Another bonus was the chance to catch up with some serious reading. The…

As Anselm of Canterbury so wisely described his outlook:

“fides quaerens intellectum”

which, being interpreted, means
