Listen "Rev. Elizabeth Davidson, Faith in Women, and Abortion Access in Mississippi"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Healing Theology Podcast, host Alejandra Salemi sits down with Reverend Elizabeth Davidson, an ordained clergywoman in the United Methodist Church and Executive Director of Faith in Women. Together, they explore the intersection of faith and reproductive justice, discussing the complexities of abortion care, bodily autonomy, and the nuanced role of religious communities. Reverend Davidson shares her journey of bridging her faith with advocacy, the historical role of clergy in reproductive rights, and the importance of reducing stigma within faith spaces. Rev. Davidson helps us understand a theological understanding of how to be people of faith and be for bodily autonomy and educates us on the long but unknown history of the Clergy Consultation Service which helped people find access to abortion care with the help of their faith leaders. This candid conversation challenges conventional narratives and highlights the need for honest dialogue in faith-based communities.
