64. Abortion Origin Stories & Evangelicalism with Rev. Anne Garner

Desert Voices: Critical Thinking to Cultivate Well-Being

Rightly so, abortion is one of the most complex and critical ethical issues of our day. Uncertain how to competently engage the topic, I buried my head in the sand for too long, claiming, "I don't do politics."

What a fool I have been.
Learn alongside us and dig into "The Real Origins of the Religious Right: They'll tell you it was abortion. Sorry, the historical record's clear: It was segregation." (By Dr. Balmer)

It's sobering to realize I have been part of the problem and hopeful to discover I am also part of the solution to human flourishing.
In this episode, we are joined by a close seminary friend, Rev Anne Garner, whose work over the last two decades has been defined by hospitality, justice, and radical love.

Anne grounds this complicated conversation in love for all humankind as we examine political origin stories and their impact today.
