Who Decides What Gets Preached in Church?

This week, reports emerged that clergy in the Diocese of London are being encouraged to address anti-racism in sermons as part of a wider racial-justice initiative. While Christians are called to love our neighbour and oppose racism, this raises a deeper question: what must always remain at the centre of Christian preaching?In this podcast, I look at the facts behind the story, reflect on the biblical foundations for justice and unity, and consider why the apostles insisted that the ministry of the Word must remain central to the life of the Church. We also think about what this means for local parishes, faithful preaching, and the future of the Church of England. This is a public episode.
