 An Invitation to Drift – Reflection 4 | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 9:36

Here is the penultimate audio reflection on How (Not) to Speak of God. Thanks to the help of a friend I should soon have these, and other audio files, on itunes for download. If you have been listening to this little experiment I would be grateful if you offered some critique tomorrow in the comment section, as I am thinking of doing more regular podcasts in the future.

 An Invitation to Drift – Reflection 3 | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 10:25

We are over the half-way mark with this experiment in audio reflections. Someone has kindly offered me some help in setting up a podcast channel so hopefully soon you will be able to download these reflections and carry me around in your pocket. If that works I will also look at putting other audio files up. As you probably know already the reflections I am giving out this week offer brief commentaries on each chapter of Section One of my first book How (Not) to Speak of God. Hopefully these might be of use to any group wanting to do a book study, for those who want a little refresher course, or for people who might want to know a little about the book before buying it. I am hoping that these podcasts will act as a useful springboard into my forthcoming book Insurrection. - If I want you to “catch my drift” I seek to convey my meaning to you. In these reflections I hope to help people catch the main drift of H(N)tSoG. - “To drift” also conjures up the sense of moving from a fixed point or set course. It has been many years since I wrote H(N)tSoG and so I am now a reader of the text, offering my own limited interpretation of the work that no doubt drifts in some ways from the intentions of the author. - Finally “to drift away” conveys the idea of being carried along by a current of air or water. My hope is that these short podcasts will provide a little moment of reprieve in your day, enabling you to drift away from your daily struggles for a few short moments. The podcasts last approximately eleven minutes each.

 An Invitation to Drift – Reflection 2 | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 11:39

As promised here is the second podcast where I offer a reflection on my first book How (Not) to Speak of God. I am hoping that these podcasts will act as a useful springboard into my forthcoming book Insurrection.

 An Invitation to Drift – Reflection 1 | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 11:04

This week I will be releasing five audio reflections (one a day) that offer a brief reflection on each chapter from section one of How (Not) to Speak of God. My artist/musician friend Dubh recorded an ambient track to provide a soundscape for these reflections that he has called “Drift” (you can download it for free here). I love the name because it captures the heart of what I am attempting to do in these recordings, - If I want you to “catch my drift” I seek to convey my meaning to you. In these reflections I hope to help people catch the main drift of H(N)tSoG. - “To drift” also conjures up the sense of moving from a fixed point or set course.
