Gerard Manley Hopkins famously wrote that Christ plays in ten thousand places. Public theology is of little use if it does not enter into that play in every area of life. The Big Picture is our magazine in which as a community we give expression to our celebration of life in all its complexity. Read or buy now.

It would be hard to stress the importance of formation and education too much. Christian conversion is crucial but Scripture orients us towards our world, and being converted is insufficient by itself for the church to become this salt and light. Conversion must be followed by ongoing formation and education, by what the Bible calls sanctification. This formation is of the whole person, of heart and head – that is, of our wills, desires, thoughts and feelings.
