OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the Shadow of Whiteness: Reflections on Christianity and Far-Right Nationalism with a White Pastor-Theologian
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).
