    Restless Sanctuary Ep. 013: ‘Got a light?’ How colours help us to think differently about theology

    Restless Sanctuary Episode 13: ‘Got a light?’ How colours help us to think differently about theology What does it mean to let our light shine? What do we do when Jesus surprises us at the bus stop? What is a tetrachromat? How does colour help us think about theology differently? What has the through-line been for our Sanctuary First themes from Advent last year to this summer? Check out our latest episode to find out! Listen every fortnight to our new podcast about faith, restlessness and the search for meaning! James Cathcart and Albert Bogle from Sanctuary First share what it’s like to be restless Christians, wrestling with the Bible and spirituality as they try and live it out today. Right now our world is very restless — politically, economically, culturally, technologically and environmentally. We are living through an age of disruption and upheaval. Many of us are longing for a sense of sanctuary, for belonging, and direction to help us face new and unprecedented challenges. At the root of Christianity James and Albert uncover a restlessness in God’s heart that mirrors our own. A deep longing and restless love that searches out for each one of us. We glimpse God in the faces of one another in need and in God we glimpse our own human yearning for wholeness and love. James and Albert reckon Jesus offers sanctuary and respite for our restless souls, but that it is often a restless sanctuary, a temporary makeshift shelter in a world that we are called in turn to go out and love. The ship in their logo, designed by Jack Steel, is itself a restless sanctuary on the open water — not a shelter from the storm but a shelter through the storm. Join them every fortnight for fascinating discussions about being restless Christians in a restless world! The series is a collaboration between James Cathcart and Albert Bogle and features the track ‘Symphony of Lies’ by The Bogle Band. References: The Bible verses James reads are Matthew 5: 14-16. The song Albert mentions writing with Iain Jamieson is ‘Room at the Table’ by The Bogle Band. The hymn Albert refers to is: ‘Loved with everlasting love’ (I Am His, and He Is Mine), by Wade Robinson. The BBC article they discuss is: The women with superhuman vision by David Robson on BBC Future.
