This week our host Alex Clare-Young talks to Molly Boot and Roo Stewart to ask the provocative question of how politics could appear in our preaching for Sunday the 6th July.
Their discussion draws upon the Lectionary, this week being:
- Isaiah 66:10-14 - The Worship God Demands
- Galatians 6:1-16 - Bear One Another’s Burdens
- Luke 10:1-11, 16-20 - The Mission of the Seventy
Revd. Molly Boot is a theologian, musician and priest, currently based in rural Gloucestershire. They’re very enthusiastic about a lot of things, including music, prayer, LGBTQ+ liberation, and the stranger corners of medieval church history.
‘Politics in the Pulpit’ is JPIT’s weekly lectionary resource, helping to equip preachers, ministers and worship leaders to unpack justice and peace issues in the pulpit.
