Assembly

In this episode of the ASSEMBLY podcast, we continue our discussion of economic justice. We explore how organizing is different from charity and organizing, and look at several on-the-ground examples of worker organizing.

Our panelists are

* Rabbi Jonathan Klein, executive director of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), Los Angeles
* Dr. Joerg Rieger, theology professor at Vanderbilt University Divinity School, Nashville
* Rosemarie Henkel Rieger, labor organizer and co-founder of the Southeast Center for Cooperative Development, Nashville
* Dr. Kate Ward, ethics professor at Marquette University, Milwaukee

This episode of the ASSEMBLY podcast is the first half of a conversation on economic justice. Why is economics a central engine of politics? How do the Jewish and Christian traditions offer a counter-ideology to capitalism’s ideology of individualism? We discuss these and more.

Our panelists are

* Rabbi Jonathan Klein, executive director of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), Los Angeles
* Dr. Joerg Rieger, theology professor at Vanderbilt University Divinity School, Nashville

The new podcast of the Political Theology Network is here! In this first episode of ASSEMBLY, host Jeremy Posadas interviews the editors of Political Theology, Vincent Lloyd and David True, about their vision of political theology — the field and the network. Then Jeremy gives an overview of how this podcast will create unscripted, genuine conversations about a range of issues that define our politics today.
