Ascends At Boston Avenue Church

As we remember those killed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, we reflect on our role in racial justice, repair, and reconciliation. This 2020 conversation with our friend, Rev. Robert Turner (pastor of Historic Vernon AME Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma) feels particularly relevant, and we invite our listeners to revisit this podcast episode. Original episode description: In this special collaborative edition of "ASCENDS", Philip and Caitlin are joined by co-host, Dr. Gary Peluso-Verdend from the "Committing Faith in Public" podcast. The guests are Rev. Robert Turner and Rev. David Wiggs to discuss the relationship between Historic Vernon AME and Boston Avenue UMC and why talking reconciliation is not enough
