During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How do Christian trees behave, and how have Christian humans interacted with them?

I shall suggest that trees may have played a more active part in the Christian religion than scholars and believers tend to give them credit for.
