Check out the last episode of our second season, where we had the opportunity to talk with the Reverend Benjamin Perry about his new book "Cry, Baby: Why Our Tears Matter". Benjamin is an award winning writer and his work focuses on the intersection of religion and politics. He is also the Minister of Outreach and Media Strategy at Middle Church in NYC.

During our conversation with Benjamin we discussed his own journey of learning to cry again, how our culture views emotions, and the spiritual dimension of tears and crying.

In this episode we talked with the Rev. Jermaine Ross-Allam, who is the first director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency’s Center for Repair of Historical Harms. Jermaine helped us to understand the difference between repairs, and reparations, while also discussing the role of churches and denominations in this process.

We also had the opportunity to learn from Jermaine about the theological dimension of this issue and how it has affected and continues to impact the way we see the future.

Feel free to contact Rev. Jermaine if you want to know more about him and his work.

In this episode we talked with Marchaé Grair, who is the Communications Director for Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism and a Senior Partner at Still Harbor, an organization that trains spiritual directors and spiritually grounded facilitators.  ​Our conversation with Marchaé focused on the topic of what does it mean to be an abolitionist.
