Do things have to change? Do things have to pass by? Do things have to leave? Do things have to evolve? Do things have to be created? Do things have to be remembered? I don’t want change. It is frightening and scary. But that is what life is – change. It has to be done, In order for life to move on. It will be so, It is permanent. It can never change.

Holy Humour The Right Hand of God Little Philip was spending the weekend with his grandmother after a particularly trying week in infant school. His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday morning. It had been snowing all night and everything was beautiful. His grandmother commented, ‘Doesn’t it look like an artist painted this scenery? Did you know God painted this just for you?’ ‘Yes, ‘replied Philip, ‘God did it and he did it left handed.’ This confused his grandmother so she asked him, ‘What makes you say God did this with his left hand?’ ‘Well, ‘said…
Reading 1 Acts 5:17-26 The high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the Apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the…
Scott Midson, University of Manchester Religion and technology, at first glance, don’t go together. When I tell people that I research religion and robots, I’m often met with confusion. Interestingly, though, the religious figure of the golem, a mound of earth or clay that has been brought to “life”, is widely recognised as a precursor to the robot. And some of the earliest examples of moving mechanical figures (automata) were designed for religious purposes, as a form of worship and reverence for God’s creative work. So are religion and robots really that far removed? One way of thinking about this…
Neel Ocean, University of Leeds and Peter Howley, University of Leeds It is well known that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is good for your physical health, but our latest research suggests that it might be good for your mental health too. A study from Australia in 2016 found improvements in psychological well-being after increases in fruit and vegetable consumption. We wanted to know if this finding held true using a larger sample (more than 40,000 participants) from the UK Household Longitudinal Study. Our analysis showed that increases in the consumption of fruit and vegetables are linked to increases in…
Anthony Bonato, Ryerson University There’s a change coming to Ontario’s elementary school math curriculum. The new provincial government says it is responding to a decline of standardized test scores and plans to recommend a return to “back-to-basics” teaching methods for mathematics teachers. Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Education Lisa Thompson have told educators that directives for changes will be coming within a matter of weeks. Teachers, whose lesson plans for the fall are already drawn, are possibly now scrambling to implement new curriculum guidelines. Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) scores for students in Grade 6 and Grade 3…
