Several years ago, Barbara Wendland made a generous contribution to establish the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Here is the vision statement of the program: “Justice, in many religious traditions, is not an abstract idea but tied to the life of embodied communities. To be just means to restore and to build community at all levels: personal, public, political, and economic. At the Wendland-Cook Religion and Justice program, we believe addressing the relationship between religion and matters of economic and ecological justice is foundational to the flourishing of all people and the planet.”
In this episode, Barbara and Joerg Rieger, Founding Director of the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice, discuss this program which continues the work Barbara started nearly 30 years ago.
