Centre for Public Christianity (January 2013)


The first newsletter of 2013 from the Centre for Public Christianity contains links to several video interviews, among which are the following:

• Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision, on why he campaigns so strenuously against poker machines, and why he sees problem gambling as an issue of social justice.

• Stanley Hauerwas on ways the contemporary church has gone wrong, such as trading its belief in the God of the Bible for a God that guarantees the American dream.

There are also links to some audio files:

• Clinical psychologist Leisa Aitken talks about the use of mindfulness within clinical psychology, covering its spiritual dimension, its limits and benefits.

• Cultural commentator Mark Sayers offers his diagnosis of the modern West’s restlessness through the idea of ‘the road’.
