[Extended version with Q&A] - Doing the Work of Love: Rev. Joe Phelps on Playing the Long Game for Racial Equity
Joe Phelps is a retired Baptist pastor with a long history of making good trouble in regard to hunger, poverty, race, and other social justice and equity challenges. As part of the Earth & Spirit Center’s Community Conversations series, Joe joined host Kyle Kramer along with a live Zoom audience to talk about the intense racial tensions in Louisville, KY, his many friendships and collaborations across color lines, and how he has sustained his engagement and advocacy over time. This extended version includes the Q&A segment from the Zoom audience, which comes after the formal close of the podcast.
