Dorothy Day

from Vintage Saints and Sinners Hosted by Karen Wright Marsh, Gabriel Hunter-Chang

Tim Tseng and Karen Wright Marsh wrestle with the life and legacy of Dorothy Day, the controversial American social reformer who said, “Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily." Dorothy Day was a person of contradictions: activist and contemplative, political radical and theological conservative. She founded The Catholic Worker, a Jesus-centered movement of mercy and resistance that continues to this day. Host Karen Marsh tells Dorothy’s story and then digs deeper with pastor Tim Tseng.
