How you respond matters! What's happened a year after arriving in Amsterdam?

It has been a while!

In this video I give a bit of an update on the first anniversary of my move to the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and my family's move to Amsterdam. A lot has happened with the recent re-election of Donald Trump, the ongoing war in Gaza and the Ukraine. I talk about some new projects in Public Theology in late-secular / early post-secular democracies, peace ethics, and point out that it matters how you respond to injustice, violence, and untruth. Justice, by just means.

• Witness to the truth
• Bind up the broken
• Live the alternative
• Replace evil with good
