In Ponta Delgada, Azores with the Horizon Europe IN SITU project. We had workshops with creatives and artists from all around Europe whom the project is supporting. Lots of discussion and insights in a beautiful location.

I'm excited to be joining this podcast about the IN SITU project. In conversation with the amazing and inspiring Nancy Duxbury.

It will be out in two weeks.

What does creativity look like far from the big cities?

Heavy fog all over Manchester. We had to walk up to the hills above Mellor to see the sun.

In September, I was in Sibenik Croatia, teaching at the
INSITU project Summer School, speaking at the INSITU Conference and attending our consortium meeting. Such a fantastic experience with colleagues, friends and participants.

Gustavo Gutierrez passed away last month. I never read much theology, but I did read his work and it had a huge influence on me. Here's my signed copy of A Theology of Liberation. #theology #liberationtheology
