Faith Leadership in the Face of Crisis, with Peter Laarman


Listen Later

Why have many faith traditions have been silent during this pandemic, and what would it take for us to own the problem of COVID-19 as a country? Debo and David sit down with Peter Laarman to talk about faith and leadership during COVID-19.

Peter dives into the idea that this crisis reveals the unacceptable things that have always been present in the United States: the winner-take-all economic system or the broken for-profit health care system. They also discuss what all of this means during an election year, and why it seems so impossible to make headway against economic and political injustice in the United States.

Peter Laarman is a United Church of Christ minister who served as senior minister of New York's Judson Memorial Church and then as executive director of LA's Progressive Christians Uniting before retiring in 2014. He remains deeply involved in national and regional social justice projects touching on race, class, and religion.
