The book is full of things that are not only challenging but memorable and powerful in the very way that they are worded. I thought time and time again that phrases were memeworthy. Here is one example, which I do indeed hope will become a meme and circulate widely:
“The evangelical system was and is a pump primed for scapegoating…The Bible became an idol for the Church, to whom we regularly sacrifice vulnerable people for the sake of keeping our god on its throne – slaves, women, divorcees. Now queers. When will we stop slaughtering our own children in order to uphold an ideology?” (Emily Swan, Solus Jesus, p.177).

Here are a number of links that are hopefully of related interest, as they connect in some way with the overall theme, or specific topics touched on, in this week’s podcast:
Ian Paul on Acts 11, Cornelius, and the gift of the Spirit
Restoring The Faceless Ones through animation
Doctor Who audio adventures – what if they were designed like TV episodes?
