Michael Wear, president and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life in Washington DC, argues in his new book The Spirit of Our Politics that we need a new paradigm of political involvement that might take inspiration from Christian wisdom and tradition, honed over many centuries.

As elections take place in 2024 on both sides of the Atlantic, Wear, in conversation with Marvin Rees, the mayor of Bristol, will discuss a distinctly Christian approach to politics that results in healing rather than division, kindness rather than hatred, and hope rather than despair.
