Updates for March 2025
31 March 2025The POCP Website Updates for March 2025:
The Project was sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Martin E. Marty (1928-2025) at the end of February this year. Dr. Marty was a giant in the field of theology in the twentieth century, and a powerful and optimistic voice amid the battles between extremism and ecumenicism, both in American Protestant church life and well beyond. When the Project was in its infancy in the early 1990s, Dr. Marty was the first major scholar to mention Prof. Urrows’ research publicly, and to take it seriously. (Visitors to our website interested in this should look up Marty’s article “Revolutionary Neglect”, in The Christian Century, vol. 111 (12 October 1994, p. 935.) Dr. Marty will be sorely missed. An appreciation of his life and work on NPR can he heard here: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/27/nx-s1-5188613/martin-marty-leading-scholar-of-american-religion-dies-at-97
Thanks to our friend, Andy Ng, we now have new photos of PEK2005a, and have updated the page for that installation, including the stoplist.
Prof. Urrows made a 3-day visit to Guangzhou in March, and returned with photos of Christ Church, Shamian, and of CAN2024, which are now posted to that page. The page for CAN1904 has also been updated.
Finally, the Links page, and the Errata list for Keys to the Kingdom have also been updated.
