NAME IT! Podcast: Intersectional Theology, interview with Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Susan Shaw
We are so excited today to interview Rev Dr Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Rev Susan Shaw about intersectional theology.
Here are the questions we asked:
– Can you tell me about yourself and why you got into what you do and why you care?
– How did you come together to write the book Intersectional Theology?
– What is Intersectional Theology?
– Why is Intersectional Theology relevant in today’s climate? And how can it translate to the not-for-profit sector, especially for major Christian charities?
– Is allyship required and how can one be an ally?
– What advice would you have for white ‘conservative ministry leaders?
– What advice would you give for white ‘liberal’ ministry leaders?
– In the spirit of the work of MLK Jr., can intersectional theology be a lens and a tool for reconciliation today?
