And I mention all this (I hope) not to say hey-look-at-me-I-got-to-travel, but to remind everyone how absolutely warping North American & British theological conversations can be. We really aren’t the center, and we certainly aren’t the answer, and that’s easy to forget.

A genuine delight to tag team with iconographer Nick Papas at Villanova (who created this Augustine icon in a matter of hours), to learn of the art of the equally Augustinian Vernon Adams, to meet author Catherine Ricketts, and to finally meet the inestimable Martin Laird!

Aidan Hart is the real deal. Shame on me for not realizing this sooner (though I did know of his work), thanks to Matthew Dallman for getting me to his talk. And in addition to his YouTube talks, he has written it all down. www.aidanharticons.com/product-cate...
