Rev. Stephanie Kendell — Ministry of Presence

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment.  Our guest this week is Rev. Stephanie Kendell, the first female Senior Minister and President of the historic National City Christian Church and Foundation in Washington, DC. Last year, Rev. Kendell and Rabbi Hirsch led an interfaith vigil in support of immigrants, refugees, and houses of faith. We talk about what it means to love your neighbor, showing up for one another as a person of faith, and how the story of Esther transcends religion. Just For This will be off next week for the observance of Passover. Make sure to catch up on more just for this moments when we return after the holiday.
