Jesus-Shalom

In part two of our conversation with Aglaia Barraclough, we turn to her work in restorative justice, prompted by her engagement in Workshop and reading done there (but not before a bit of sustained work in community development projects with immigrants and refugees, many from other faith perspectives). We explore what restorative justice is and […]

This is the first of an ongoing series on “shalom activists”, people who are engaged in peace-and-justice activism, from a shalom perspective. In this two-part episode I interview Aglaia Barraclough, who works in the area of restorative justice. We begin with Aglaia’s early childhood in Greece and then London, including the pervasive presence of the […]

In this episode we begin to look at a sort of formula for summarising some of the key features of a shalom vision–the key values or reference points–a “structure and shape” for engaging the world with a shalom sensibility. Before that, however, we talk about two other things. First, Noel and I talk about our […]

The episode begins (1:30-5:30) with an exploration of shalom in five spheres of life, experience, existence (mono, micro, meso, macro, mondo) before turning (6:15-12:35) to an exploration of how such talk of holistic and “nested” spheres might illuminate thinking about our experience–philosophically and practically, on the one hand, biblically and theologically, on the other. In particular, […]

The fourth and final rebroadcast (to work around some directory problems). In this episode we explore the “wholeness” of shalom. We begin (:40-8:00) with the all-inclusive scope of shalom; there is nothing “outside” the shalom circle. For Noel, this makes a shalom vision somewhat unique and incomparable. Indeed, the only real contrast is some sort […]

The third of four rebroadcasts (to work around some podcast directory problems). In our last episode Noel presented some of the “big picture”–the idea of shalom–where it comes from, what it means, connections it might have. In this episode, Noel engages Tim, his co-host, regarding his impressions of and reflections on this big picture. At […]
