SUMMARY:How Christianity Learned to Hate Sex: The Development of a Christian Theology\, 100-400AD - GI 26 212
DESCRIPTION:Since the days when Jesus walked the paths of Galilee and Judea\, the Christian Church has been deeply divided about the fundamental human topics of love and sex. By 400AD a church that had been positive about marriage and childbearing had learned to revere celibacy and virginity above all else. This short course will seek to illustrate the sexual norms of the society Jesus was born into\, and explain how a complex and fundamentally mysogynistic theology was created over the following centuries. We will also look at how this had an impact on the following 1000 years of the Western Church.

SUMMARY:Ainsley Hamill - WE009
DESCRIPTION:Mix Heather Small & Julie Fowlis and you’ve got singer songwriter Ainsley Hamill. Ainsley is one of the UK’s most distinctive and versatile singers\, known for her remarkable voice\, storytelling\, and emotive style. Hailing from the West Coast of Scotland\, Ainsley has built a career celebrated for its authenticity\, merging traditional Scottish folk with a modern touch. \nIn early 2025\, Ainsley released her much-anticipated third studio album\, Fable\, produced by Sam Kelly. Drawing inspiration from Scottish folklore and myth\, Fable combines Gaelic\, Scots\, and original compositions with a rich tapestry of sounds from musicians Alistair Iain Paterson\, Toby Shaer\, Signy Jakobsdottir and Euan Burton. \nAinsley’s accolades include being a BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year Finalist\, a Gaelic Singer of the Year nominee at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards\, and representing Scotland internationally at World Expo Dubai and World Expo Osaka as well as at Eurovision in Gothenburg. Her album Fable was nominated for Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards and has continued to attract national praise and exceptional audience response. \nWith roots shaped at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland\, Ainsley carries a profound connection to Gaelic song and Scottish storytelling. She first came to prominence with the folk band Barluath\, contributing original songwriting to their albums Source and At Dawn of Day. Alongside her acclaimed solo career which remains her main artistic focus she also performs with Fourth Moon\, bringing a vibrant blend of Gaelic and English song together with her signature step dancing. \nHer voice thick with velvet and mirk…hovering between the comforting warmth of The Breath and the whip-smart forlornness of early Adele…Hamill has a big intriguing voice\, it’s Scottishness ever-present. Folk Album of the Month March 2021 – Not Just Ship Land -The Guardian Jude Rodgers \nOne of the best of her generation.
