Betsy Shirley (YDS ’11) , Press + Pulpit: We’ve Both Got Trust Issues; A Public Conversation, featuring Betsy Shirley Editor in Chief of Sojourners Magazine, in conversation with YDS Associate Dean Bill Goettler

Sojourners editor in chief Betsy Shirley will reflect on what people working in various sectors of truth-telling can offer each other as we seek to earn the trust of communities that may have legitimate reasons to question our work.
