[310.1] A CALL FOR HOLY DISORDER

Christians have to recover the sense of mass participation and divine disorder in their Easter celebrations next time round, according to theologian Theo Hobson, an Ekklesia associate – and author of two books on subversive Christianity: Against Establishment, An Anglican Polemic and Anarchy, Church and Utopia: Rowan Williams on the Church. His arguments chime with a forthcoming book from religion commentator Jonathan Bartley, which argues that the ‘Christendom era’ of top-down denominationalism is at an end, and that Christianity must rediscover its radical roots to flourish in a plural society.
