Rev. Phil Dieke hosted a conversation on Fireside Chat, a podcasting platform that allows show hosts the opportunity to not only to have a live audience, but invite audience members "on stage" to join the conversation.
In this episode, Rev. Virzola Law, Senior Minister at Northway Christian Church in Dallas, joins Phil to discuss why voting rights are a non-partisan issue that the church (and faith communities in general) must fight for if they believe in justice for all. The underlying premise: all people are created in the image of God, thus all people have inherent value. And, as the saying goes "One person, one vote."
The same day this podcast is being released, Phil and Rev. Mitchell Boone are with Bishop Mike McKee (bishop of the North Texas Conference) in Austin, Texas for the "Let My People Vote" rally hosted by Texas Impact. If you have questions about this podcast or why White Rock UMC is fighting for voting rights, email Phil (pdieke@wrumc.org).
