The Small Tunisian Town that Sparked the Arab Revolution

March 21, 2011 by Fulcrum

On Dec. 17, 2010, a fruit seller named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire after a dispute with a government official. His act triggered the Arab Revolution. Why did it begin in a small Tunisian city? And how have local residents reacted to their new freedoms? Mathieu von Rohr. Der Spiegel. 18 March 2011.

Beer and Theology with Stephen Godsell (Friday 22nd November)

Beer and Theology

In association with The Centre for Theology and Community and the Hurtado Jesuit Centre, this is a chance to get together, have a drink, meet some new faces and talk about theology. It’s 6.30pm-8.30pm on Friday 22nd November at The Angel (101 Bermondsey Wall East, Rotherhithe, SE16 4NB).

Our guest is Stephen Godsell and the topic is “Wittgenstein and Newspapers Today“.

About Fulcrum

Fulcrum is a point of balance, aiming to renew the moderate centre of the evangelical Anglican tradition and to generate articulate Anglicanism.

We are also a point of movement, view, controversy, and influence.

We provide original articles, detailed analysis, reliable news, a virtual library and online discussion.

We hope we are agile in mind, deep in insight, generous in orthodoxy, patient in pressure and delighting in God.
