Big Little Issues:
A Theology Podcast
The cooperative is a project in public collaboration in the spirit of public theology. Drawn from the life of the Uniting Church in Australia, together we are asking, what does it mean to think the common good in our time and in our place? And who are the voices Christian theology has yet to listen to? To explore these questions, were establishing a number of focus areas, including academic research, public events and conferences, a church and lay focus series, a publishing arm, and digital dialogue across our website and podcast. We want to make room for otherwise impossible conversations and hope you can join us.
Our theology podcast, Big Little Issues is available on the following platforms: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music.
