Making Hope Visible- Introduction

03/03/20 • 16 min

A bi-weekly podcast where we talk to people who inspire action for justice, love, and peace in their neighbourhoods and around the world.

It’s a space for making sense, and making meaning of what we do in and through and around communities of faith.

This podcast is created primarily for and with those interested in the Justice, Mission and Outreach networks of the Atlantic Regions of the United Church of Canada. It is created as a way to connect people, community, good works, and good ideas. If these things are important to you too we are glad you are here!
In this introductory episode host, Laura Hunter, introduces herself, describes the "why" of this project, and what to expect in future episodes.
