The Stimulus has been working away in the background getting the latest issue of Stimulus ready for release just in time for Christmas! Four of the articles has a particular focus on the ongoing Covid Pandemic with Lynne Taylor, Sebastian Murrihy, Chris Northcott and Derek Tovey offering articles from their various disciplines - both academic and pastoral. We also have an article from Laidlaw's OT lecturer, Richard Neville looking at the moral dilemma of the flood. Along with our articles, we've got some great contributions to our columns and reviews. The Stimulus team - Mark Keown, Sarah Penwarden, and Fiona Sherwin wish you a wonderful Christmas break and find space to pause and reflect on the reason for the season - the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ. https://hail.to/laidlaw-college/publication/Ssf86mf
