Speaking on my project on Indigenous religiosity & digitality at @iashedinburgh.bsky.social (15 Oct). Curious how it lands among those working across the humanities, beyond my usual circles at @cswcedinburgh.bsky.social & @uoedivinity.bsky.social. Hybrid event. Feedback valued! edin.ac/3VTueHu

Emerging from the post-missionary era, for 50yrs APBF facilitated Baptists in the Asia-Pacific to work together & depend on each other. Notably, its mission-evangelism has a strong social/holistic thrust, as seen in the organic, collaborative response to the 2004 earthquake. shorturl.at/Cnrsw

Fascinating insights into the religio-cultural and traditional blend that shaped the Bollywood soundscape... and the increasing tendency to discredit this rich heritage in recent times.

A special congratulations to two #WorldChristianity students I supervised, Dr Agana Agana and Dr Rathiulung Elias! #EdinburghGrad Agana’s PhD looked at #digitaltheology and Ghanaian Christian social media. Thiu’s PhD explored cosmology and #Christology among the Rongmei (Naga) Baptists.
