Mihee Kim-Kort talks with Carol Howard Merritt and Derrick Weston about her book, Making Paper Cranes: Toward an Asian-American Feminist Theology. How has the myth of the model minority affected her life and work? How should we claim our context in our work? Should white male theologians claim their context in the same way women and racial/ethnic minorities have?  Is there an intellectual segregation in the marketing of theology? We talk about these questions and more with Rev. Kim-Kort.

Mihee Kim-Kort is a PC(USA) pastor and author who blogs regularly at miheekimkort.com.

After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary, people of faith yearned to respond. The horror highlighted that many children live with fear of guns every day. How can we understand the impact that gun violence has on our country? What can we do to change this culture of violence? What are the greater political and systemic issues that we ought to be aware of?

Derrick and Carol invited J. Herbert Nelson to discuss these issues. J. Herbert started the Liberation Community Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tennessee. Now he serves as Director of the Office of Public Witness for the Presbyterian Church (USA). And while you're listening, we invite you to check out this petition, sign it, and distribute it.

Derrick and Carol talked with Hugh Hollowell about Love Wins, a ministry of presence and pastoral care with homeless men and women in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hugh tells us about his approach to ministry and explains that homelessness is, basically, a relationship issue.

Derrick Weston will be talking to MaryAnn McKibben Dana about her book, Sabbath in the Suburbs. How do you practice Sabbath in this busy, stressed-out world? Is Sabbath just a luxury for those who don't have kids? What if both parents are working? Does Sabbath make sense in our modern life? How does Sabbath help us to become more human?
