OMG! Finding Hope In A World Falling Apart

 

‘I don’t believe in an interventionist God’, says Nick Cave. With good reason, given the untold carnage and suffering in the world. The cry ‘Where is God now?’ heard in Auschwitz echoes in Gaza, Kiev, Sudan and countless other incarnations of human pain and suffering – not to mention the climate emergency. And we don’t need the likes of Stephen Fry and Richard Dawkins to highlight the threadbare nature of conventional explanations for divine ‘absence’.

Weaving together thoughts inspired by Process theology with prayers from his new book ‘OMG! A Bad Christian’s Book of Prayers’, Dave Tomlinson looks for different ways to think about God and about God’s involvement with the world, different ways to imagine the possibilities of prayer.
