Digital Leftovers with Karen Orlandi

One series I have been producing for many years is called “Digital Leftovers.” I sit down and have extended interviews with community leaders, policymakers, musicians, artists, and people with a story to tell that might otherwise get overlooked. Here are some recent Conversations.

During our conversation, Reverend Karen and I discussed Christian Nationalism, the role of religion in the 21st century, creating safe spaces for queer youth in religious institutions, and her journey to becoming a reverend.

Here is my conversation with Silver Spire United Church’s Rev. Karen Orlandi.
