# Speaker

*Nigel Biggar* is Emeritus Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, a post in which he served from 2007 to 2022. He is the author of the acclaimed books _In Defence of War_, _What’s Wrong with Rights?_, and most recently _Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning_. He has also written articles for various newspapers and journals, including The Times, The Telegraph, and The Spectator.

# Topic

*Deconstructing Decolonisation: what it is, why it matters, and why it’s (mostly) wrong*

The ‘decolonisation’ movement assumes that the colonial record of the West is simply a litany of racism, exploitation, and oppression of ‘black’ victims by ‘white’ victimisers. As a matter of historical fact, this is false. But when ‘decolonisers’ are confronted with contrary evidence, they rarely react with sceptical curiosity or robust argument. Instead, anyone criticising the claims of the decolonisers can expect to meet with anger, insults and outrage mobs. Why is this? If the decolonisation movement isn't driven by a rational appraisal of the merits of empire, what is it being driven by?

"Deconstructing Decolonisation" – Prof. Nigel Biggar

Last week, we analyzed religious antisemitism—the hatred of Jewish people for their religious practices and beliefs. This week, we’re taking a look at another evil form of Jewish hatred: racial antisemitism. Chris shares an excellent explanation of this deadly sin that antagonizes the Jewish race. While the Holocaust provides the most poignant example of racial antisemitism, Jewish people are still targeted today for acts of hatred due to their ethnicity. But the Jewish people’s survival and resilience remind us that God will always be faithful to the covenant He made with them. Discover how racial antisemitism developed and what we need to understand in light of it!

If you like sermons where the pastor unpacks the situation and reveals the hidden details, this sermon is right up your alley. FPC Transitional Pastor Tim Fearer describes a problem in the early church. It's a situation we still see today. The solution is a great lesson on leadership, communication, focus, and wisdom.

 ‘Love was a tightrope between freedom and control. He didn’t know how others seemed to walk it with ease’
Elom can’t make sense of love. It’s like a language he can’t speak, though he’s heard the words before.

He wants to feel understood – by his well-meaning yet misapprehending family, his self-assured partner Ben, and his boisterous friends – but he never knows the right thing to say.

How can you know yourself, in a world that’s constantly changing?

Set across Ghana and Scotland, this is an intimate portrait of one man’s search for belonging, a family’s attempt to love, and the choices that make a life.

Before We Hit the Ground, By Selali Fiamanya, Read by Selali Fiamanya and Danielle Fiamanya

This track "Dozens and 20 Pounds" from the Album "For The Record" by Nnanna Egwu, The Grandfather is a spoken word poetry about the Igbo nation, and their heritage. A love that never happened. Written and performed by Nnanna Egwu Echem Featuring Amarachi Attamah, and produced by Kemena.

Dozens and 20 Pounds

Nations:  What are they?  Are they defined by language, by “culture,” by blood, or something else?    How do you know if you are part of one? —and  is everyone in the world a member of one nation or another?
We follow how the rise of medieval kingdoms and universities and the print revolution made it possible for people in the West to imagine themselves as part of extended kinship groups united by a common language and ancestry, how these abstract “nations” differed from all earlier social groupings, how nations have developed a standard template for national history and mythology, and how since the French Revolution, “nationalism” has inspired the loyalties and fired the passions of millions.
Finally,  we consider how scholars and critics have torn the concept of the nation to shreds, and then have tried to account for the profound transformations in consciousness and time made it possible for people to conceive of themselves as belonging to nations in the first place.

Apologies for the osprey squawking in the background of the lecture!

Myth of the Month 25:  Nations

We are delighted to have Ben Campbell continue a thought provoking month of September Sunday Check-Ins.
Ben has prepared a short activity for us and shared the following pre-session musings.

Last month, Venerable Juewei shared the story of the fish in water, which was a powerful story about how sometimes, the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about. 

This week, we'll be invited to explore one of these areas -- race and ethnicity -- and how it shapes our experience in profound and sometimes subtle ways. As an entry into this session, consider pondering the following questions:
1. How do you experience your racial or ethnic identity?
2. In what ways has race or ethnicity influenced your journey?
