Episode 81: with Rev. David Copley for Sunday 19th March

This week on Politics in the Pulpit, Geoffrey is chatting to Rev. David Copley.

David has been a minister for over 50 years. His ministry was entirely in the North West, with most in Liverpool and Manchester. Wherever he was called to serve, he sought to focus on issues of social justice. He was married to Margaret for 52 years and has three children and four grandchildren. Margaret was a Roman Catholic also with a powerful sense of the God of justice. She died of dementia last November.

They discuss the lectionary readings for Sunday 19^th March:
1 Samuel 16: 1-13

Ephesians 5: 8-14

John 9: 1-41

Psalm 23
