Pod and Country
In episode 3, we expand our focus from the theological and historical foundations of Unitarian Universalism to actively engaging with our communities and supporting those fighting against systemic injustice. Featuring an interview with Adrian Tirtanadi, Executive Director of Open Door Legal, we highlight their success in reducing homelessness through universal access to legal services. Additionally, we visit Rev. Nathan Ryan in Baton Rouge to discuss the importance of cultural context in dialogue, complemented by music from Francisco Herrera, comedy, poetry, and a reflection from Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern. We invite listeners to join us in this journey of learning and action.
