Love Thy Neighbour: Conference 2026

We are really excited to announce that we are joining with Better Story, Christian Aid and Fellowship of Reconciliation for a conference this October in London!

Join us for a day of conversations about faith, politics and polarisation, asking questions such as:

  • How should Christians engage with political power?
  • How and why are parts of the Church supporting the Far Right?
  • How should Christians engage with people of other faiths?
  • What is a Christ-like approach to national identity and migration?
  • How can we be agents of God’s peace and reconciliation at a time of division?

Get your tickets now at this link.

With thanks to the team at Better Story for bringing us together for this project.

Erica has recently graduated from university and is one of the 2025/26 JPIT interns, with a focus on digital communications. Her background in youth climate activism first inspired her to get involved with work exploring the relationships between the Church and climate injustices. She is particularly passionate about climate justice, marginalized voices, and anti-colonial justice.
