Episode 7 – Beyond The Other – Inclusivity
beyond on November 18, 2015.
Why can’t we all just get along? Why is difference such a threat to us? What is at the heart of the conflict and violence and intolerance we find all around us and also within ourselves? In a completely globalized, multi-cultural, multi-faith world, we are surrounded by difference and diversity as never before. Our special guests Carolyn Francis, Dave Andrews & Bishop Spong help us explore what it means to inhabit such a world and to navigate an inclusive pathway forward.

Episode 6 – Beyond Beings – Eco-Theology
beyond on November 10, 2015.
This episode of the Beyondering Podcast might just save the world…
Matt and Lucas are joined by two special guests as they break through the earthy-crust of eco-theology and explore the connection between spirituality, our faith and the environment.
 
Our first guest is Fred Plumer, head of the Progressive Christianity organisation from the USA. Our second guest is Michael Dowd, whose book, Thank God for Evolution, was endorsed by 6 Nobel Prize-winning scientists, noted skeptics, and by religious leaders across varying theological spectrums. Dowd has a tremendous passion for proclaiming a pro-science message about our sacred responsibility to the earth for future generations.

Episode 5 – To Eternity and Beyond – Sin and Salvation 
beyond on November 3, 2015.

Is it possible we actually need some saving … from our ideas about salvation?

Is sin really something you’re born into? Has there been a defect in human manufacturing?

Is salvation really handed out on the basis of agreeing with certain theological propositions?

Is there really a cosmic balance sheet – satisfied only by the death of God’s son?

Is there another way to see salvation other than a ticket to heaven?

Join Matt and Lucas as they speak with the sometimes controversial, always passionate and fascinating Bishop John Shelby Spong.
