This week's episode features audio from a workshop with Jock McGregor called, "T.S. Eliot’s Idea of a Christian Society".
In our Post-Christian society, as Evangelicals struggle to find their place, a growing number of ‘options’ are being considered – from “Benedict’ to ‘Wilberforce” and everything in between. One voice from the past may, somewhat surprisingly, offer perspective – the famous twentieth-20th Century British poet, T.S. Eliot.
Jock McGregor and his wife Alison have worked at the Rochester L’Abri for the past 16 years. They met at Swiss L’Abri in the early 80’s when Jock was on staff there. They also worked for ten years with L’Abri in England. Jock, who grew up in Africa, has a B.Sc undergraduate degree and an M.Div. from Regent College in Vancouver, Canada. Jock has lectured widely on many topics related to the relationship between Christianity and contemporary culture. Alison, who is Australian, worked in computing for 3M Australia before joining Jock in the ministry of L’Abri.
