Josh Cockayne and Gideon Salter - Why we gather to worship
What happens when we gather together for worship? How can theology and psychology work together to yield new insights into that question? And what are the implications for churches and church leaders in an increasingly online world?
In this episode Rev Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Revd Dr Josh Cockayne, Academic Dean at Cranmer Hall, and Dr Gideon Salter, Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at Liverpool Hope University, about their new book Why We Gather: Psychology, Theology, and Liturgical Practice, which was released in 2025.
