This week, in the temporary absence of Bernard and Peter, Marianne is joined by Plough editors Veery Huleatt and Maureen Swinger. First there's an interview with Steve Gumaer of Partners Relief and Development on their work in Myanmar with the Rohingya which leads to a discussion about how to respond to the many natural and man-made tragedies around the globe. Then news from the Bruderhof including a meeting with a group that's bringing music into prisons, and an upcoming Nurturing Communities conference at the Spring Valley Bruderhof in Pennsylvania. Finally, a discussion on the influence of John Wycliffe and Jan Huss, early reformers whose courage for the gospel was a major influence on the Radical Reformation.

Here are some of the links and references from this episode:
