Who are the people that bus tables, wait on you, or clean your hotel room? How can a church reach these particular neighbors in a meaningful way? In episode 6, the last episode of Season 5, Sara Joy and Eric confront these questions in an interview with Kevin Finch, a former pastor and Executive Director of Big Table, an organization focused on caring for the needs of workers in the hospitality industry. Paul Cunningham, head pastor of La Jolla Presbyterian Church in California, and Eliza Harris Juliano, an principal urban planner with Canin Associates in Orlando, Florida, serve as our field guides for this episode, showing how Big Table works on the ground with a church and the important interplay between housing and transportation in meeting the tangible needs of workers within the hospitality industry.
