Episode 31 | Joseph Vambe on Black History Month and Building a Just Future

Recorded live at Southwark Cathedral during the Diocese of Southwark’s Black History Month service 2026, this episode features a sermon by Mr Joseph Vambe (British Church Relations Manager, Christian Aid) reflecting on Black history, the legacy of slavery and the call to build a more just society.   Drawing connections between the history of Black communities in Southwark and the Christian promise of “life abundantly”, Vambe considers what it means to honour the past while working towards a different future. At a time when questions of race, migration and belonging continue to shape public life, he challenges the Church to uphold the dignity of every person and move beyond remembrance towards action.
