Let's Talk Faith and Justice

In September, a group of pastors In Winnipeg quickly organized a pastoral care line for 2SLGBTQIA+ people after mass anti-Queer organizing across Canada. Though funded by the Anglican Diocese of Rupert's Land and the Lutheran Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Synod, the volunteers for the care line came from the Lutheran, Anglican, United, and Mennonite denominations. The pastors on the front lines of organizing this care line join the podcast and talk about their experiences, the successes, and how other places can follow their example, among other topics.

What is Let's Talk Faith and Justice?

Let's Talk Faith and Justice is a podcast hosted by Boston Laferté, a current JD/JID and MDiv student, and Lyndon Sayers, co-pastor of Lutheran Church of the Cross in Victoria and a spiritual care provider with UVic Multifaith.

The podcast explores topics of faith through the lens of justice, and topics of justice through the lens of faith. Both the hosts and guests bring their own unique life experiences and faith journeys to explore how the sometimes-conflicting worlds of faith and justice can intersect in deep and life-giving ways.

It is with deep respect and gratitude that Let's Talk Faith and Justice is recorded and produced on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən territories that include Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations.
