SUMMARY:Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities
DESCRIPTION:What type of cities do we want our children to grow up in? Car-dominated\, noisy\, polluted and devoid of nature? Or walkable\, welcoming and green? As the climate crisis and urbanization escalate\, cities urgently need to become more inclusive and sustainable. We will chat with Tim Gill about his new book Urban Playground\, which reveals how seeing cities through the eyes of children strengthens the case for design\, planning and transportation policies that work for people of all ages and for the planet. It shows how urban designers and city planners can incorporate child friendly insights and ideas into their masterplans\, public spaces and streetscapes.

SUMMARY:What is Life?
DESCRIPTION:One of the highlights of Regent Summer Programs is our free Evening Public Lectures. This series always features a wide range of professors and topics\, and this year is no exception. All lectures will be streamed online\, so invite a friend and join us! \nIn one of his most beautiful lines\, Irenaeus of Lyons (a second century theologian) said that ’the glory of God is the living human being’\, but then adds\, ‘and the life of the human being is to see God’. But\, as no one can see God and live\, the living human being that is the glory of God is the martyr\, the one who takes up the cross to follow Christ. How might the witness of the martyrs challenge our own presuppositions about life\, and especially the relationship between life and death\, and\, indeed\, what it is to be human? By reflecting on these questions\, John Behr will explore what it is that Christ offers when he says ‘I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly’ and what it is that he ‘finishes’\, or brings to perfection\, upon the Cross. \nFr. John Behr is the Regius Chair in Humanity at the University of Aberdeen. His extensive publications include critical editions of a number of patristic writings\, including the fragments of Diodore of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopuestia\, Origen’s On First Principles\, and the works of Irenaeus of Lyons. \nFr. Behr will be teaching the course Pre-Nicene Christianity: The Formation of the Theological Tradition from July 5-9 as part of Regent’s 2021 Summer Programs. \n\n\nVisit our YouTube channel for more video content from Regent College\, or tune in here to watch this event at Monday\, May 31\, 2021 at 7:30PM Pacific Time.

SUMMARY:Fractured: Why our societies are coming apart and how to put them back together
DESCRIPTION:Theos will host a conversation with Jon Yates and Dr Madeleine Pennington. \nJoin us on June 3rd at 12.30pm BST\, when Theos will host a lunchtime conversation with Jon Yates and Dr Madeleine Pennington. \nJon will discuss his new book Fractured: Why our societies are coming apart and how to put them back together again which examines how we have become so divided and what we can do about this. \nTheos’ recent research sought to understand the impact of churches on the cohesiveness of our communities across England\, and another report explored the role of faith and belief in cohesive societies. The event will also consider what the role of faith groups are in the approach Jon takes. \nJon’s book tackles a deceptively simple idea: the more we spend time with people unlike ourselves\, doing things together\, the more understanding\, tolerant\, and even friendly we become. \nCombining fresh analysis with a wealth of fascinating examples\, Jon demonstrates the ways in which our societies have become disconnected\, so that most of us spend less and less time with people who are different — as defined by age\, race\, or class\, earning power or education. It argues that the pandemic has created an unprecedented opportunity for us to come together. So we must forge a new ‘Common Life’ – a set of shared practises and institutions — that can strengthen the glue that bonds our societies\, in all their diversity.  Further information and the book’s reviews can be read here \nJon Yates is the Executive Director of the Youth Endowment Fund and has spent the last two decades of working to bring people together both in government and outside. Dr Madeleine  Pennington is Head of Research at Theos.

SUMMARY:Science\, Religion and Humanity: Who gets to say?
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on his BBC Radio 4 series The Secret History of Science and Religion and forthcoming book on the subject\, Nick Spencer explores how the two have\, do and can relate to one another. \nScience and Religion: everyone seems to have an opinion. \nThey are in direct opposition to one another (and always have been). They are in broad harmony with one another (and always shall be). They actually have nothing to do with one another – NOMA or “Non–Overlapping Magisteria” in Stephen Jay Gould’s phrase – and so are neither in opposition nor in harmony. \nAt this York Festival of Ideas event\, Nick Spencer explores how the two have\, do and can relate to one another drawing on his BBC Radio 4 series The Secret History of Science and Religion and forthcoming book on the subject. \nPointing to centuries of complex and colourful interaction between science and religion\, he proposes a new idea. Rather than being “NOMA”\, perhaps science and religion are actually POMA “Partially–Overlapping Magisteria”\, with the overlap being not about Genesis or geology\, or the Big Bang\, or even evolution but about the nature of human beings\, and in particular – who gets to say. \nThe event will include an in–conversation segment with Vicky Johnson\, Canon Precentor at York Minster\, as well as an opportunity to ask your own questions. \nThis event is hosted live on Zoom Webinar. You’ll receive a link to join a couple of days before the event takes place and a reminder an hour before. During the event\, you can ask questions via a Q&A function but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout. \nThis event is part of the York Festival of Ideas Being Human series which delves into the nature of humanity. You may also enjoy Human Dignity: Without meaning or meaningful? on Monday 14 June and Holiness and Desire: What makes us who we are? on Thursday 17 June.

All lectures will be streamed online\, so invite a friend and join us! \nThe New Testament Book of Hebrews\, which deals with perspective and perseverance in difficult times\, stands as one of the most needed ancient writings for the modern church.
