Episode 124: with Revd Dr Tim Judson for Sunday 9 June

Politics in the Pulpit?

In this week's episode of Politics in the Pulpit, host Michael Wakelin chats to Revd Dr Tim Judson.

Reverend Doctor Tim Judson is a theologian and Baptist Minister passionate about the intersection of theology, arts, and social justice. He explores how beliefs shape lives, engaging with liberation theologies to challenge systemic inequalities. As one of the few White members of Baptists Together's national racial justice hub, he contributes to research on equality and diversity, particularly in reimagining Whiteness in theology. Tim's interests span Black theology, music, Bonhoeffer, Aquinas, and environmental ethics. With ministerial experience in various UK locations and international missions, including Uganda and Thailand, he draws on diverse contexts for reflection and song writing. Tim holds theology degrees from Bristol, Durham, and a PhD from Aberdeen, focusing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology of lament. At Regents Park College, he serves as a Lecturer in Ministerial Formation and author of "Dark Weeping and Light Sleeping" and "Awake in Gethsemane."
