ResCov Chicago: Letters to the Church Resurrection Covenant Church Chicago

In this next episode of Letters to the Church, we are excited to hear from Pastor Judy Peterson on this Feast of All Saints' Sunday!

For our next edition of ResCov's Letters to the Church, we were excited to welcome Karen González! Karen is a writer, speaker, and immigration activist who immigrated from Guatemala as a child.

"It's when you follow Jesus running in that you actually get to experience a foretaste of the feast to come, like there's a healing power to running in."
We are thrilled to welcome pastor, professor, and organizer Rev. Dr. Alexia Salvatierra for our latest Letters to the Church!

"I'm always on the search to make everything I do a bit more meaningful. And I think that ritual really just infuses life with meaning."

We welcome writer and artist, Mari Andrew for our next Letters to the Church! Mari sees the joy and sorrow, humor and hope of the "ordinary magic" in the world around her.

"This is not the time for the church...to throw in the towel. This is the time for us to show up, probably more than we ever have before."
Today, we hear from Dr. Phillis Isabella Sheppard. Phillis is the Associate Professor of Religion, Psychology, and Culture at Vanderbilt University.

This week we are grateful to talk to Rev. Gilliard who is a pastor, writer, and activist, and serves as the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Evangelical Covenant Church. His latest book is Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice That Restores.
