The latest Corrymeela podcast is out. It is a conversation with Palestinian theologian Sam Munayer. Sam and his brother John compiled and edited a book last year called “The Cross and the Olive Tree”. It is, as it says “cultivating theology amid Gaza”.

#RememberingMoyaBrennan One of the special things about our years in Rostrevor was the incredible opportunity we had to meet simply magical people. Rostrevor is a thriving hub for folk and Irish trad music and runs a brilliant festival every summer called Fiddler's Green.

This is a long but brilliant account of the fall of American evangelicalism. This fall is mirrored around the world wherever the tentacles of social media herd people into an echo chamber where they are exposed to ever increasing doses of this toxic ideology. open.substack.com/pub/processt...

I don't think there is any historical degradation or inhumanity to which the white supremacist shitheels at the helm of our nation will not now lay claim. Slavery will soon be a beneficient grant by Europe to the world. The Inquisition and the Holocaust will soon be necessary purifications.

In the last three years at Borderlands we have brought together conversations with victims and ex-combatants from different sides. It was a huge privilege last night to host Jo Berry CBE and Pat Magee last night at the Black Box.

While Gaza has been the focus of our attention there has been shocking violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for many years but especially in the last two years. It is an area that has been under occupation since 1967. Israel’s actions make a two state solution impossible.

Small Wins. In the middle of dark February, as war and peace (and not much peace) fill the news, we gathered for Borderlands. We had a stunning night with music, sonnets, heartbreaking stories, hilarious, life affirming stories, and a deep sense of human connection. We meet again 11 March, Belfast

Today on a day when we say the words “Never Again”, let us remember the Palestinian children sacrificed to the gods of greed, vengeance, fear and indifference. Goodbye to the children of Gaza. You were loved, you are remembered, you did not deserve it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the great Irish poets, Michael Longley has died. He wrote about the Troubles in The Ice-Cream Man and in the poem Ceasefire. I videoed him reciting Ceasefire at the Rostrevor Literary Festival in 2021. youtu.be/OEap7m1DHMk?...

My most-liked cartoon of 2024 and it's a serious one 👀 Too many of us are blind to our privilege. Let's have a self-aware 2025!

I wish more people read James Baldwin before the election. It’s not too late. We’re in what he called “The Final Solution”. But there’s still time for the tide to turn. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

It is the task of the prophet to make the critical distinction between God as God and “God” as the mere deification of a nation aspiring to greatness. I first saw this twenty years ago in Dostoevsky’s “Demons.” That moment changed my life and ministry.

I help to run an event every month called Borderlands. This month we focused on the theme Dignity. I started the night by referring to a talk former President Mary McAleese gave in Rostrevor this weekend at the Literary Festival there. She spoke about Seamus Heaney being her favourite poet.

Listening to Dr. Munther Isaac, noted Palestinian priest & nonviolent resistance leader, speak with my friend Jarrod McKenna. So much to highlight, but I'll share just a little. He spoke of how our Western "prayers" are often wielded the same way Pilate washed his hands before Jesus' crucifixion.
