The Children of Tomorrow
A play for young people and adults. ""Nobody would be willing the act of compassion necessary to save the human race if it meant sacrificing themselves. Humans had already outgrown humanity."" At the end, all that remains is a group of teenagers carrying the weight of destiny on their shoulders. A play for nine young people (3M, 6F) and three adults (2M, 1M/F), 'The Children of Tomorrow' follows the story of the teenagers selected to survive humanity's terrible final solution. The reality, however, is even more sinister.
African Motors
In African Motors, Joshua Grace examines how Tanzanian drivers, mechanics, and passengers reconstituted the automobile into a uniquely African form between the late 1800s and the early 2000s. Drawing on hundreds of oral histories, extensive archival research, and his ethnographic fieldwork as an apprentice in Dar es Salaam's network of garages, Grace counters the pervasive narratives that Africa is incompatible with technology and that the African use of cars is merely an appropriation of technology created elsewhere. Although automobiles were invented in Europe and introduced as part of colonial rule, Grace shows how Tanzanians transformed them, increasingly associating their own car use wi...
The Sanctified Mind
The Apostle Paul associated life ""in the Spirit"" with changes in the ""mind"" (Rom 8) and urged believers to be ""transformed"" by the renewing of their minds (Rom 12:2), ""and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."" (Eph 4:17-23). This book is a pastoral analysis of how that works. It seeks to look practically at the radical change envisaged in the New Testament. The word Paul uses repeatedly for ""mind"" is nous -"the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining; the intellectual faculty." What is it, "to be renewed in the spirit of your minds"? What does that "new self" look like, when "created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness""? This book claims that the language of the New Testament is not aspiration but experience.

The Quakers and the Famine in West Cork
In this lecture, we will consider the work of the Quakers in relation to the Potato Famine during the years 1845-1848 with particular reference to County Cork. There are a few preliminary notes to make. First, just who were the Quakers? In answer to this question, we'll investigate their origin and development in Bandon (as an important West Cork market town) during the last years of the seventeenth century and into the next century. Second, we must sketch a picture of what this area of Ireland "looked like" during the years just before the Famine and attempt answers to the question: "Why was the Famine of 1846 so catastrophic?" The historical and geographical context has been described as "An explosion ready to happen." So we ask, briefly: why was this the case? Third: a mention must be made of the social positioning of the Quakers around 1845. The intriguing question must be asked: "How did this [relatively small] group create such an impact?"
Automotive Empire
In Automotive Empire, Andrew Denning uncovers how roads and vehicles began to transform colonial societies across Africa but rarely in the manner Europeans expected. Like seafaring ships and railroads, automobiles and roads were more than a mode of transport—they organized colonial spaces and structured the political, economic, and social relations of empire, both within African colonies and between colonies and the European metropole. European officials in French, Italian, British, German, Belgian, and Portuguese territories in Africa shared a common challenge—the transport problem. While they imagined that roads would radiate commerce and political hegemony by collapsing space, the pre...
Nehemiah: The Builder's Blueprint
When I came to preach and teach on the book of Nehemiah, a friend of mine -David Crawford-Bixby- suggested the word "Blueprint" and I've found it an illuminating suggestion. For not only was Nehemiah a capable project manager who must have dealt with some ancient version of the blueprint in his construction work, but the word itself forms a parable of how God dealt with him. As we shall see, the character of Nehemiah is at the heart of the book that bears his name. He is the orchestrator, the midwife, the warrior... but in all he does he seeks only to replicate the pattern given to him by God. So, finally, it is his integrity and faithfulness that shine through. He is God's blueprint, enshrined in Holy Scripture to encourage us to see just how it's done.

Dawn Chorus
""A rabbi once told me that the right place to start reading the Bible was in the book of Psalms. It's an interesting thought isn't it? You might think to begin at the beginning, or to first learn the historical story, or attempt to understand its high theology. So, why the Psalms? Because the Psalms operate out of relationship, and that's where your walk with God begins. And continues. It's also wonderful to us to consider that the Psalms were the prayer-book of Jesus. He knew its songs intimately, and in fact he quotes the book of Psalms more than any other book. The reason is that Jesus lived in a warm and constant relationship with Father God, such as I can barely imagine. But we want to imagine it! More- we desire to live it. It's a life of happy trust; of constant awareness; and confident expectation. This little book is split into thirty short chapters with the idea of spending a month reading some of the Psalms, and seeking that relationship with the Father that Jesus enjoyed."
