Theology in the Margins

Good Samaritan? – In Conversation with Roger Ellis on the Role of the Church in an Age of Rising Nationalism

We sat down with Roger Ellis - a pioneer in church planting, church leadership, preacher, author and fisherman - to discuss how the central message of the gospels, a message of love and community, is being manipulated by the far-right to validate a politics of exclusion and, perhaps more importantly, how the church should be responding the the historical and political moment.
