Hello everyone! The latest episode of Controversies in Church History covers a curious topic and debate among academics. Why are modern Western societies so different from other civilizations? Why are they WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) when so much of the world is not? In this episode, we take a look at the thesis that the medieval Church's prohibitions on marriage paved the way for changes in social structure that account for the modern West's WEIRDness, and why the Church insisted on those prohibitions in the first place. https://lnkd.in/eVpy7KiE

From my interview with Cait West, on her brand new memoir; "Rift is my story of what it’s like to grow up in Christian patriarchy as a girl, how I became a stay-at-home daughter, and what it took to leave and start anew. It’s about hard topics like religious trauma, but it’s also about my experience of finding my voice and gaining independence."

With tomorrows upcoming conference we want to leave you with some "food for thought from our speakers." 1️⃣ On moral repair: "Moral repair is the process of moving from the situation of loss and damage to a situation where some degree of stability in moral relations is regained” (Margaret Urban Walker, American philosopher and academic). 2️⃣ On self care: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare." (Audre Lorde, American writer, professor, philosopher, intersectional feminist, poet and civil rights activist ) 3️⃣ On resilience and awareness of macro-level influence: “If you aren’t recognizing your own humanity and your own preciousness, and your own individual divinity, then of course it is not going to horrify you when the divinity, preciousness and humanities of other people is being eliminated and diminished”.

Did the Enlightenment Bring Light? episode 2 of "Fighting Free of God?" What we call 'the Enlightenment' of the eighteenth century has certainly shaped the way that people — and certainly all Westerners — have thought ever since. The evidence for that is that many of its ideas, in simplified form, are now considered to be 'common sense' by millions of people who have never been exposed to the alternatives. But the very terminology — 'enlightenment' — is loading the dice of discussion in favour of its central, rationalist, secularising ethos and concepts. For who could argue in favour of the dark? In this episode, we look at the most important of the eighteenth-century thinkers, at what motivated them, and at the import of their ideas for religious belief and modern secularism.
