CSBV Lent Lecture week 6. This event was one of a series of six Lent lectures being offered by the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence this year.

In this final lecture in our series, Revd Dr Christopher Landau spoke on "Splashing our way to the peaceable kingdom: facing conflict with footwashing, forgiveness and neighbour-love. " Christopher is an Anglican priest who works as the director of Director of ReSource. He is also author of the acclaimed book "A Theology of Disagreement: New Testament ethics for ecclesial conflicts".

Having grown up in a traditional market town Anglican parish, Christopher read Theology at Cambridge University (as a choral scholar at Trinity College) before moving to London as a BBC News trainee. There he joined a local parish church that had just received a plant from Holy Trinity Brompton. His faith came alive in unexpected ways, and six months after being appointed as the BBC World Service’s religious affairs correspondent, he felt a calling to ordination. During training at Ripon College Cuddesdon he began work towards a doctorate in Christian Ethics, completed during his curacy in west London. His work on disagreement among Christians has been published by SCM Press as ‘A Theology of Disagreement’, and he is passionate about Christians hearing the Spirit’s call to pursue loving unity, seeking the fruit of the Spirit, even in the face of inevitable disagreements.
