Above the peaceful Walthamstow Marshes, a hungry kestrel eyes its prey while two young field mice, Diesel and Electric, play innocently below. Venturing out from their family nest within the railway embankment, the duo finds danger swooping down upon them. As the kestrel descends, allies from the marsh emerge: a vigilant rabbit and brave sparrow leader, Brown Wings, rally to protect the young mice. Diesel and Electric is a tale of unexpected friendships and nature's camaraderie unveiling amidst a thrilling struggle for survival in the heart of the marshland.

The Council of Jerusalem in 49 AD and recorded in the Acts of the Apostles is the beginning of the Church's mission to the Gentiles. In a close reading of the biblical texts about the Council, the author, a Roman Catholic Biblical Theologian, explores how the Council's hard-won decision to move from nationalism to universalism is not only the most important event in the history of the early Church but remains a constant challenge for the Church today if it wants to remain credible in the contemporary world and to its own members.
