The Common Theologian: Recent Episodes
Krista Ewert
Common conversations about God. Bite-sized chunks of theological discussion that hopefully, anyone can engage with: non-Christians, new Christians and even seasoned Theologians.
In this Episode I have a conversation with my friend Lucy Chaimiti. Lucy is the director of a refugee house in Toronto Canada. The language and perceptions that surround refugees can be quite negative. What should our response, as Christians be to refugees?
I spoke with Dr. Steve Ibbotson about God and Disabilities. Steve was born with a congenital heart disease and serves as adjunct faculty at Prairie Colleges.
In this Episode I have a conversation with my friend Ryan Cook. Ryan is ordained in the Church of England but moved back to Canada and serves the residents of the Downtown Eastside. We talk about perceptions of poverty, what the Bible has to say about poverty and what our response should be.
Dorothy Sayers explained, “Trying to get God into a verbal formula is like trying to force a large and irritated cat into a small basket.” In The Common Theologian, we are simply playing with the cat or as my husband says, poking the cat. That being said, there are some fundamental assumptions that are being made in facilitating this play or poking, whichever way you want to look at it. For example, hopefully, you aren’t allergic to cats. We are also going to introduce you to a little book called John.
