Come here for theological and cultural commentary on a culture in crisis.

I’m a parish priest in the Church of England (old High, Prayer Book Catholic by churchmanship), and a PhD student at the University of Bristol exploring the philosophy of psychiatry, specifically whether psychiatric diagnosis is possible without taking account of the soul. I am a devotee of Wittgenstein, and I’m also a specialist in the Ministry of Deliverance, which is part of the research.

I come at things from a gently conservative Christian point of view. I write about questions of national identity, the interaction between secular mentalities and the ecological crisis, and how that plays out culturally. I am particularly interested in the interaction with Islamic theology and culture within the UK, and I advocate a ‘multiracial monoculture’ based upon a Christian worldview.

Unless I a) get thousands of subscribers and b) get made redundant (or c - get a sign from the Lord) all posts will be free.

I’ve been blogging since 2005 - see elizaphanian.com for the archive.
