Technology and the vision of a Christ-centred cosmos
Paul Blackham
A technological revolution is happening in the way information is handled. It has been happening for at least 20 years but has achieved a level of impact and accessibility to make everybody sit up and take notice.
The modern world could be defined not as the Bronze or Iron Age but as the Ink Age – because words were the most powerful resource, beginning with the Renaissance and Reformation, through the Enlightenment and into the era of mass media through radio, television and information technology. This trajectory already indicates that words have been turned into pictures and images as a primary form of communication.
Comment: It's interfaith dialogue in the CofE
Paul Blackham
Those of us in the Church of England have been engaged in interfaith dialogue: not at a mosque, temple or synagogue but in the General Synod.
Many of those watching from a distance and those of us within the Church of England are asking - what is going on? It is obvious that there are two fundamentally different worldviews in collision here... but how can this happen with Church? And what are we going to do about it?
