Oxford is brimming with stories and rousing conversations that shaped the works of people like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. For the last 4 1/2 years, Sally Clarkson has immersed herself in these stories and historical moments while living there and working with people from all over the world. She will share anecdotes from Lewis and wisdom gathered from experiences in Oxford, drawing from her newest book, Well Lived, a photographic journal of Oxford.

We call Hutchmoot a “conference for everyone,” so it follows that this is a “podcast for everyone.” This series features sessions recorded at the Rabbit Room’s annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections.

If you’ve grown bored with church feeling like five pop songs and a Ted Talk, you’re not alone. The church has lost its way. The songs, prayers and practices from generations of Christians before have much to teach us about the kind of Jesus-following life we don’t often see in our world today. Through them, we learn things like stillness, loving our enemies, grieving and forgiving—becoming Christlike people of mercy, joy and love.

In this conversation, John explores the challenges in illustrating, adapting, and interpreting scripture in a visual form. Using the Holy Ghost comics, his picture book retellings of Bible stories, and his Sunday
sketchbook practice, John will highlight and explore the dangers and opportunities of adaptation. Expanding beyond an audience of those who regularly make art, he’ll discuss cultivating a regular practice of drawing for the non-artist.

Tolkien famously described world history as a “long defeat,” since human efforts to overcome evil are ultimately doomed to failure. But the gospel still offers hope because of Christ’s ultimate victory. Endo’s novel, Silence, depicts the crushing challenges of bringing the gospel to Japan; Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev buckled under the horrors of Stalin’s Soviet regime and expresses his pain through his 7th Symphony. However, in different ways, both articulate hope against the odds.
