Grateful for the engaging conversation about my keynote last week at the SSCE conference at @yorkstjohn.bsky.social on trauma-informed #PublicTheology and for how we theologians can assist our church communities to rethink our practices in church, academia, and society.

Having studied and taught about the Lausanne Movement, I, among many other leaders, are slightly disappointed about the logistics and the somehow far-right leaning ideologies going on this week. But this also shows that much work is yet to be done in the theological world.

My time with #L4Congress has come to an end. It’s good to have worshipped, served, and learnt together with 5200+ global leaders. I also quite appreciate the fact that we acknowledge different theological approaches, both within the TWG, participants, and among Korean leaders.

There is no better place to spend my #Pentecost2024 with Taizé, whose symbol represents the dove/#HolySpirit. 🕊️ It is uncommon for me to be filled by the Spirit several times a day. This feeling and the simplicity here will linger with me for a while.
