RTN Theology


Mar 12, 2020

After an intense couple of weeks, Bob and Chris get back together to reflect on the beginning of the Lenten season, the Coronavirus outbreak, and the Democratic Primaries. RTN Theology #22 features archival audio of author and organizer Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove from November 3, 2019 when he spoke at Oak Church. Part of an ongoing series of profiles of saints (holy ones, past and present), Jonathan shared about his mentor and spiritual mother, Ann Atwater. A Durham legend, Ann’s life and work known more widely from the book and movie about her life called Best of Enemies. Ann’s words and actions are a provocative witness towards healing and collaboration bourn from the gospel in divisive and polarized times. Her story shows how transformation is possible on the way to working for wholeness and help for society’s most vulnerable. Throughout the episode is featured music from Lincoln, NE soul singer Mona Reeves.
