ABOUT THE EPISODE:

How should (or can) church leaders pursue justice?

There’s often a divide between those who do not want to overthink or “overtheologize” until the moment to act is past, and those who feel wary of action without careful, theological and contextual discernment. Today’s conversation might help us close the gap.

We’ll talk about leadership, Christian freedom, and political will; legal engagement strategies for Christian communities; and Catholic resources that might help Anglican and Episcopal leaders get “unstuck.”

Our guests are The Rev. Canon Natalie Arendse and Dr. Elisabeth Kincaid.

Natalie is currently chaplain to Whitsunday Anglican School in Mackay, Queensland, Australia. She is honorary Canon in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa and former head of St. John’s Leadership Academy in Cape Town, a formation program for lay and ordained leaders.

Elisabeth is director of Baylor University’s Institute for Faith and Learning and Associate Professor of Ethics, Faith and Culture at George W. Truett Seminary. She’s also author of the new book, Law from Below: How the Thought of Francisco Suárez, SJ, Can Renew Contemporary Legal Engagements.
