Episode 167 with Angus Ritchie for Sunday 20th July
Join our host Alex Clare-Young for the final episode of the season as they speak to Father Angus Ritchie and Simeon Mitchell to discuss how politics could appear in our preaching for Sunday 20th July.
Drawing on the lectionary readings:
Genesis 18:1-10a - A Son Promised to Abraham and Sarah
Colossians 1:15-28 - The Supremacy of Christ / Paul’s Interest in the Colossians
Luke 10:38-42 - Jesus Visits Martha and Mary
Father Angus Ritchie is the director of the Centre for Theology and Community, which supports churches in their engagement in community organising. An Anglican priest, he has served in east London parishes since 1998, and his books include Inclusive Populism: Creating Citizens in the Global Age.
‘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.
