As a chatbot, dressed in a hooded brown-and-white robe, Jesus is available 24/7 to answer any and all questions on his Twitch channel, ‘ask_jesus.’ A similar “Buddhabot” is in the end stages of development, too.

It all matches a millennia-old tradition of refashioning spiritual leaders to meet contemporary needs and styles.

I am honored to now be associate professor of #theology and #ethics at #Greensboro College! It is a blessing to be a member of a supportive and generous group of faculty members at this College that punches above its weight class. And I look forward to continuing to teach and write on #Reformed Theology, #ecumenical theology, ethics, and history! @theology @religioushistory #theologidons #religidons #teaching #ReligiousStudies

I had such a great time getting to know Reformed colleagues from Thailand, Germany, Uruguay, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, S. Korea, and Grand Rapids, MI. I'm also grateful to the Collegial Secretariat of the WCRC for the opportunity to play a small role in the preparations for the 2025 General Council. #theologidons #religidons @theology @religion
