Listen "How Not to Be a Bystander"
Episode Synopsis
Injustice is making itself visible in the streets of our city. Are we prepared to act with compassion and wisdom? Have we rehearsed our responses in a way that is faithful to the ways of Jesus? Join Rev. Blair for a conversation on "How Not to Be a Bystander", based on James 1:19-27. Rev. Blair Trygstad Stowe serves as our Public Theologian in Residence, which makes her a regular on our The Progressive Christians Podcast. She is an ordained Elder in the California Pacific Annual Conference; while completing a PhD from the Boston University School of Theology, she serves as the Assistant Dean of Co-curricular Development and Assistant Professor in the Practice of Ministry at the Claremont School of Theology. Rev. Blair and her husband, Andrew, as well as their children, Ansel and Ellory, are regulars at Westwood UMC, most frequently in The Loft. Dr. Carter will be away until July 9, while teaching a seminary cross-cultural immersion class in South Africa. www.TheLoftLA.org
