What might a political theology of leadership look like in uncertain times? Spaces of Hope explores how individuals and communities work together to shape and contribute to society in times of pandemic, Brexit, war, and a cost of living crisis, through the exploration and development of local leadership practice underpinned by shared values.

Expanding on William Temples’ three key social principles for our own times, the author suggests “freedom, relationship, service, affect and authenticity” as critical values which are vital in influencing wider society in troubled times.
