from Jesuitical · host America Media
Three years ago this week, on Aug. 9, 2014, police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an African-American teen in Ferguson, Mo. Within 24 hours of the shooting the Ferguson uprising began. On this episode, we talk with the Rev. Broderick Greer, an Episcopalian priest in Memphis, Tenn., who boarded a bus and headed to Ferguson following Mr. Brown’s death. He wrote about this experience in an article for America, “How Ferguson helped me understand my baptismal identity.” We ask Rev. Greer about his experience in Ferguson, black Christianity and why he doesn’t call himself an activist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
