The Progressive Christians Podcast

Hurricane Helene and the Christian roots of Environmental Justice


Listen Later

Over 250 people have died due to the effects of hurricane Helene. In this episode we grapple with the loss of life from this disaster and the politicalization of natural disasters by Donald Trump, and the progressive Christian history of environmental justice. 

Note - Rev. Blair was only able to participate in the first half of the podcast and we forgot to mention it during the episode! So please know that she didn’t vanish but she had other important work to tend too!
