Beginning with a 'Street Nativity Play' that didn't end as planned,
and finishing with an open-ended conversation in the midst of the
COVID-19 pandemic, "Being Interrupted" locates an
institutionally-anxious Church of England within the wider contexts
of divisions of race and class in 'the ruins of empire', alongside
ongoing gender inequalities, the marginalization of children, and
catastrophic ecological breakdown. In the midst of this bleak
picture, Al Barrett and Ruth Harley open a door to a creative
disruption of the status quo, 'from the outside, in': the
in-breaking of the wild reality of the 'Kin-dom' of God. Through
careful and unsettling readings in Mark's gospel, alongside stories
from a multicultural outer estate in east Birmingham, they paint a
vivid picture of an 'alternative economy' for the Church's life and
mission, which begins with transformative encounters with
neighbours and strangers at the edges of our churches, our
neighbourhoods and our imaginations, and offers new possibilities
for repentance and resurrection.
