684 | Grounds for Peace | Linda Stanbridge | Social Justice and the Prophets

Avid reader and lifelong learner, Linda Stanbridge is back! In this episode, Linda sits down with host, Robin Linkhart, to discuss her Doctoral work on Social Justice and the Prophets. You’re sure to be captivated by Linda’s passion for helping Community of Christ members and friends become a truly prophetic people that are drawn to connect with marginalized people in the communities we serve. If you thought Social Justice was some relatively new concept … think again.  This work is as old as the Hebrew Bible (aka Old Testament) Prophets!
