In conversations mapping movement moments and how faith communities can be of use, organizer Elandria Williams used the language of political and spiritual ‘fortification’ as a key need of justice seekers, activists, and spiritually-rooted organizers.
Caitlin Breedlove, Auburn’s vice president of movement leadership, uses this frame as she interviews the leaders and activists who are propelling today’s justice movements forward. Guests range from faith leaders to activists, writers, and filmmakers. Hear perspectives and personal reflections from those on the front lines of movement-building and learn what drives their thinking and what role faith plays in their lives. Season two launches November 1, 2017.
This week on Breedlove’s podcast Fortification: Spiritual Sustenance for Movement Leadership, she sits down with Auburn Senior Fellow Brian McLaren, author of more than a dozen books, a sought-after speaker, faithful activist, and public theologian.
He is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity,” based on an interfaith mission to pursue the common good.
