On the podcast this week, Jo Swinney talks to Sarah Meyrick about A Place at The Table: Faith, hope and hospitality. The book is a joint project with Jo’s late mother, Miranda Harris, who died suddenly in October 2019. Mrs Harris and her husband, Peter, founded the Christian conservation charity A Rocha International.

In an age when loneliness and isolation have reached unprecedented levels, the book calls for Christians to embrace the practice of hospitality which can be simpler and more profound than is often imagined.

“To be hospitable doesn’t require culinary excellence or matching cutlery it doesn’t even require a home of one's own; true hospitality offers a welcome into imperfection and messiness, a place to belong and be embraced.”

A Place at The Table is published by Hodder & Soughton at £16.99 (Church Times Bookshop £15.29)
