ABSTRACT The Council for World Mission (CWM), a global fellowship of thirty-two churches, has recently produced different liturgical resources that represent decolonial work in progress – notably, Cláudio Carvalhaes, ed., Liturgies from Below, and Viji Varghese Eapen, ed., With Many Voices. This article briefly contextualises that work in a wider view of liturgical theology and then reviews the CWM contributions. It asks questions of the CWM’s resources and of other forms of Christian worship from which the CWM initiatives consciously distinguish themselves.

ABSTACT This article explores the contemporary challenge of contested memorials in civic and liturgical spaces. This exploration arises from an account of the purposes of Christian remembrance and the moral judgements inherent therein, asking how memorial artworks in general function as objects within this formational discipline, and identifying the inherent problems they may pose to contemporary historical and moral reflection. Lastly, the article contends with the particular problems posed by contested memorials, and the extent to which these cannot adequately be solved through a policy of retention.

ABSTRACT This essay explores the interaction between Christian West and the Islamic East via the ninth-century scholar Eriugena and the Mu’tazilites. Both were committed to the search for the basic and unitive truth lying at the heart of their beliefs. Though coming from different cultural traditions, these prominent thinkers had a happy opportunity of sharing the experience of their intellectual quest while shedding light upon the most essential in human beings – their reason – which enabled them, properly ordered and manifest, to articulate creation as an integral reality in which no discrepancy between essence and existence is found. It is suggested that the dialectic, developed by Eriugena and his Islamic contemporaries, could well support a shared search for unity in our own day.

ABSTRACT This article draws attention to the need for a theological approach to sentimentality in the arts that is informed by context. During the Covid pandemic, the value of sentimental artworks that afford respite and distraction from the grim realities of death and disease has been evident. To illustrate the dangers of absolutist, anti-sentimentalist theological arguments that overlook the significance of context in such circumstances, this article presents a challenge to the theological ‘countersentimentality’ set out by Jeremy Begbie. I argue that condemning all sentimentality in contemporary culture as a ‘disease of the feelings’ manifested in people and the arts, without paying attention to the context in which people seek out sentimental artworks, is inadvisable. Then, through analysis of two examples from literary fiction, I illustrate the weaknesses of a theological countersentimentality that evaluates artworks without reference to the situation in which they were created and received.

ABSTRACT After attending the Responding to the Sacred: Gender and Liturgy in Conversation (R2S) conference, organised by a branch of the Scottish Episcopal Church, this author came away with questions regarding the nature of the conference conversations around the use of male-gendered language for God. This article, therefore, considers the direction of those conversations, which largely seemed to argue for rehabilitation of the language rather than replacement. Reflections on the conference are developed with specific attention to the nature of tradition as unfixed and an observation of the role age plays in conversations about language for God. The opportunity is also taken to consider the place of ‘Father’ and ‘Lord’ in the church’s ‘God-talk’ alongside presentation of alternative, progressive, non-male terms for God. The concluding argument suggests that this conference fell short of encouraging much-needed movement away from male language for God.
