“Plain Speak” on Social Justice: A Quaker Pastor's Challenge with guest Bob Henry

Drawing from his journey across different faith traditions, Bob illuminates the power of empathy, self-reflection, and community action. This conversation tackles pressing issues, including ICE/immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, the vital role faith communities play in social change, and why honest dialogue matters now more than ever.
