Episode 72: Rev. Dr Mike Long for Sunday 15th January

This week on Politics in the Pulpit, Geoffrey is chatting to Rev. Dr. Mike Long.

Revd Mike Long is currently the minister at Notting Hill Methodist Church in West London, following appointments in the London area and North Wales over the past thirty years or so. He studied Theology & Politics during his ministerial training, and has always had a keen interest in community engagement, poverty and economics as well as politics. His PhD was on the Jubilee 2000 campaign and the theology of international debt. He serves on the Church’s advisory panel on the ethics of investment and assists with the theological work attached to the Walking With Micah project. Mike chaired Shelter’s Commission on Social Housing which published its report in 2019 and remains passionate about this – not least amid the gross overcrowding and stark inequalities of Notting Hill.

They discuss the lectionary readings for Sunday 15^th January:
Isaiah 49: 1-7

1 Corinthians 1: 1-9

John 1: 29-42

Psalm 40: 1-11
