Episode notes
In this episode of the Healing Theology Podcast, we hear from Rev. Camille Henderson-Edwards, the director for Economic, Health and Gender Justice at the General Board of Church and Society for the United Methodist Church . As she works at the intersection of government and religion, Rev. Henderson-Edwards highlights the ways that policy creates environments of flourishing or detriment and how our theologies prompt us towards action to live out a calling to love our neighbor. Sharing her journey from Spelman College working on helping churches navigate social principles to promote the health of women, she highlights the importance of the ways our faith activates action to build a better world.
