The Joint Public Issues Team (JPIT) is a partnership between the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist Church, and the United Reformed Church.
The purpose of JPIT is to help the Churches to work together for peace and justice through listening, learning, praying, speaking and acting on public policy issues.
The work of the team aims to:
- Share the message in words and action that political engagement is integral to Christian discipleship
- Understand what churches need in order to speak and act prophetically and prayerfully on key issues of justice and peace
- Equip, energise, affirm, support and resource churches, at both local and denominational level, in their engagement with politics and public issues
- Enable Churches to speak together with a distinctively Christian voice in promoting justice and campaigning on public issues
- Build deeper coalitions and partnerships to further these outcomes locally, regionally, in the nations, and internationally.
