A Call For Renewal featuring Rev. Adam Russell Taylor
 When it comes to fostering a more caring, generous, and just world, Rev. Adam Russell Taylor is not simply a theoretician – Adam walks the walk, while he prophetically talks the talk. In his most recent book, A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community, pastor-activist Taylor brings a fresh take to a foundational Christian ideal – of embodying biblical, Jesus-centered justice in ourselves and in our relationships with others. Adam boldly calls for an American rebirth, exposes the ugliness of polarization, invites us into a redeeming patriotism, radical welcome, peace-promoting non-violence, responsible environmental stewardship, and, by dignifying all, working toward revitalization and reinvention of democracy. His new book is a tour de force and a down-to-earth manifesto on renewing the church, society, and government.
In this episode of Schenck Talks Bonhoeffer, TDBI President and Founder, Rev. Rob Schenck talks with Sojourner’s President, Rev. Adam Russell Taylor, about his outstanding book, intriguing background, and work at Sojourners, a committed group of Christians who work together to live a gospel life that integrates spiritual renewal and social justice.
