Episode 137: with Sally Mann for Sunday 10th October

In this week’s episode of Politics in the Pulpit, our host, Matt Forsyth, chats to Revd. Dr Sally Mann. They are joined by Steve Tinning, a member of the JPIT team.

Sally is Co-Director of www.redletterchristians.org.uk and one of 5 co-vocational ministers at Bonny Downs Baptist, an inclusive church in East London. She is the 4th of 6 generations of her family to stay put and serve in that East-End community. 

Sally wrote “Looking for Lydia”’ reflecting on 25 years of ministry, and recently collated 25 stories for Red Letter Christians’ book “Jesus and Justice”

She lectures in sociology and has a PhD in philosophy. 

She’s happiest in her Bonny Downs community where she’ll be moving in to an “Urban Abbey”- an experiment in intentional community living (see
