17.01.2022 An excellent piece here by Rachelle Gilmour (Trinity College, Melbourne) Mark Brett (Whitley College). "What theological resources do we have for this season of dislocation, physical isolation and crisis for our faith communities? Parts of the Hebrew Bible, like the Book of Isaiah, can make some valuable contributions to this question." https://www.abc.net.au//hebrew-bible-worship-in-e/12102306

09.01.2022 A rather interesting historical/theological exploration of Holy Week with UK actor Hugh Bonneville (did you know he read theology at Cambridge?) Perhaps the first third of this documentary is a little under-cooked, but it picks up and goes on to present an interesting contextual approach. Worth your attention. https://iview.abc.net.au/show/jesus-countdown-to-calvary
