Graham Tomlin

This one involves two special guests - Professor Miroslav Volf from Yale University and Professor David Ford from Cambridge University, in conversation with the usuals - Graham, Jane and Mike, recorded at the Holy Spirit in the World Today conference.

Charlie Mackesy, artist, preacher and very interesting chap, joins the regular team to talk about art, faith, and honesty in church.

Which Creed best sums up the Christian faith? Graham, Mike, and Jane discuss the Nicene Creed and other ecumenical and confessional creeds of the church. And in the second part of the GodPod they address the sensitive issue of death: what happens to someone who dies who has not been baptised, or who has committed suicide?

The regular team are joined by Paul Cowley of HTB and Matt Wilson of the Eden Project, to discuss their work in social transformation on the estates of London and Manchester.

GodPod turns 50! The original team celebrate to the sound of popping champagne corks. (Well, sparkling wine, at least.) And while sipping on their bubbly, Graham, Mike and Jane discuss their vision for theology at the heart of the church, one of the core values of St Paul’s Theological Centre. Plus... is there any humour in the Bible? And is there anything that God cannot do?

God encompasses the vastness of the universe, but chooses to relate to humanity in a personal way, on this apparently trivial little planet. What is the place of humanity in the purposes of God? And if there is life on other planets, is Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection valid for the whole cosmos?

What is the place of religious faith in secular politics? And should we give up everything for the poor? Shane Claiborne continues his discussion with Graham, Jane and Paula.

Shane Claiborne, founder of the Simple Way community in Philadelphia and author of The Irresistible Revolution joins Graham Tomlin, Jane Williams, and Paula Gooder to talk about his work among the inner city poor. What role does theology play in social action? How can we balance what we sense as the call of God with our commitments to family?
