Excited to share a link to my latest article in JSNT. Despite the rhetoric, in Mark’s Gospel the disciples do not leave everything to follow Jesus. I trace this evidence and explore some of the ramifications for constructions of discipleship.

“The greatest reason to take AI doomers seriously is not because it appears more likely that tech companies will soon develop all-powerful algorithms … Rather, it is that a tiny number of individuals are shaping an incredibly consequential technology with very little public input or oversight. “

A strange brew of shock, confusion, and ambivalence is the defining emotion of the generative-AI era, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues. “It seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.”

It was good to be with people from across denominations - Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox - to explore the Nicene Creed at the Remembering Nicaea conference.
