I'm in York tonight giving one of this year's Ebor Lectures.
The series is on the theme of the morality of austerity and takes the question raised by Jim Wallis, the American theologian and activist, ‘What would Jesus cut?' and use it as a way of evaluating economic austerity from a theological and moral perspective.
My theme is 'Jesus would cut the tax gap' because I think he would have done - but am honest enough to say I have no proof.
It would be great to see blog readers but don't turn up on spec please - I gather there is already a waiting list. Call first - but I think there are a few returns available.
The lecture is being filmed and will be published in due course. I've just got that little task of delivering it first.
Thanks for reading this post.

As per there tweet last night, a few tickets have been returned and therefore possible to purchase.
All the best for this, Richard.
Colin Spencer wrote a book called The Heretics Feast. I am sure that in it he said that Jesus was a vegetarian. I have the reprint/follow up called Vegetarianism: a history (preferred the first title) but I cannot find the reference there.
Used to have a vegetarian guest house ten minutes walk from York St Johns. Hope the lecture went well.
It did go well
Thanks
