OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Like many spheres of society in the UK today, the Christian Church represents a kaleidoscope of views within its streams and various traditions. Whilst there are far more Christians in the world today from a global majority heritage, many White people in England evoke “Christianity” as a foundational impetus behind far-right nationalism. In this presentation, Tim Judson will share some personal stories and experiences that will hopefully be generative for reflecting together on the connections that can be made to disentangle far-right nationalism from the Christianity it co-opts to serve its ideological moorings.
Revd Dr Tim Judson is Research Fellow at Las Casas Institute for Social Justice, Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. He is a Baptist Minister and pastor at Broadway Baptist Church, Chesham, UK. Recent publications include: The White Bonhoeffer: A Postcolonial Pilgrimage (SCM, 2025); Dark Weeping and Light Sleeping: Whiteness as a Doctrine of De-Formation (Whitley, 2024); and Awake in Gethsemane: Bonhoeffer and the Witness of Christian Lament (Baylor University Press, 2023). He is also co-editor of Bonhoeffer and the Voice of the Other: Critical Essays on Bonhoeffer’s Theology in a World of Struggle, co-edited with Anthony G. Reddie and Alison Walker (Bloomsbury T&T Clark, 2026).
