Episode 10: Faith Leadership in Complex Times
In episode 10, our final episode for season one, host Regina Banks speaks with the Rev Amy Reumann, senior director of Witness in Society. They discuss how Witness in Society fits into the rest of the ELCA and alongside other faith-based partners, how the work of advocacy has changed, different forms of activism, and much more.
After the interview we’ll hear first from hunger advocacy fellow Joey Chin, who will discuss the Lutheran history of ecumenical partnership in the United States and abroad, then from Kathryn Lohre of the ELCA’s ecumenical and inter-religious relations office about the ELCA’s role as a bridge builder in today’s political and social climate.
Finally, our host Regina Banks returns to share her own faith reflection to cap off this season.
