America the "Melting Pot"?

from TalkWise podcast · host TalkWise Podcast

What would your pastor have to say to your professor? TalkWise brings them together to find out! On Episode 2 we have Bishop Michael Curry (former presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church) and Professor Tyler Anbinder (History at George Washington University) talking about “America the 'Melting Pot'?" How does the Bible tell us to treat people from different backgrounds? How has the immigration situation changed—or stayed the same—in the last four centuries of American history? And can churches truly help create one out of many? Listen as they bring together insights from American history + the church!The Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry was the former presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church until his retirement in 2024. For more than 40 years of ordained ministry, Bishop Curry served parishes in North Carolina, Ohio, and Maryland. Bishop Curry's leadership is animated by Jesus of Nazareth and his way of radical, sacrificial love. You may have seen clips of him preaching on “The Power of Love” at the royal wedding.Professor Tyler Anbinder is a specialist in nineteenth-century America and the history of immigration and ethnicity in American life. Previously professor and chair of the History Department at George Washington University, his books include a 400-year history of immigrant life in New York City. He also served as a consultant to Martin Scorsese for the Academy Award-nominated film, Gangs of New York.
