Rev. Lisa Garvin joined Rev. Phil Dieke for our December gathering of Church and Society. Lisa is the Chaplain and Minister to the Southern Methodist University (SMU) campus. She also serves on the board of the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS).   

In their conversation Lisa and Phil discuss the importance of Church and Society as the advocacy/justice branch of the United Methodist Church. Lisa shares how her role works not only with individuals, but also the institution as a whole seeking to transform individuals while also making systemic changes.
