In this week’s episode of Politics in the Pulpit, our host, Matt Forsyth, chats JPIT members, Simeon Mitchell and Aoife Wright.

Simeon has been JPIT Team Leader since April 2021, and has had the privilege and responsibility of coordinating the work of the team. He was previously Deputy Team Leader and Secretary for Church and Society for the United Reformed Church. His background is in international development and enabling Christians and churches to respond to issues of global poverty and injustice. He lives in Oxford with his wife and three children, and is a Methodist local preacher. Aoife is the JPIT Communications Intern for 2024. They have a passion for justice, learning, creativity, and their ever-strengthening relationship with God. She's driven by a desire to help solve problems, and create a more just world, whether that is through large actions such as policy reform or global change, or smaller community action, inviting others in for a cuppa, or just a small act of kindness. Aoife is a disabled person. Matt, Simeon and Aoife discuss preaching on the lectionary readings for Sunday 20th October, which are: Job 42: 1-6 Hebrews 7:23:28 Mark 10:46:52 Psalm 34:1-8
