    Episode 28: Curiosity, Welcome, and Helping EVERYONE Flourish

    This month, Jonathan interviews Peter Bates, who has dedicated his life to helping people of all backgrounds find community and welcome. He talks about his career working in the care sector, training care staff to think differently about how to help people with long-term mental health issues. We then explored how this informed his survey of how churches in his city are using machine translation and why interpreting in church has to go beyond just making sure people understand.
