In the movements for racial justice, Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter is asking, "where is the church?"

The Gloria Purvis Podcast

Dr. Bernice A. King–the youngest daughter of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.–knows the temperature of the United States is high. But she's convinced that racial justice and equality will not come about through anger and bitterness. Dr. King and Gloria discuss the response of Christian churches to the murder of George Floyd and the BLM movement, what MLK meant by "colorblindness" and why social justice work has to change hearts as well as structures.

About Podcast

Too many voices are not being heard in the Catholic Church today. "The Gloria Purvis Podcast" is a new podcast from America Media hosted by radio personality and Catholic commentator, Gloria Purvis. The podcast centers the opinions, stories and experiences of individuals who have been marginalized in the Catholic Church and in society. A consistent ethic of life informs the conversations and honestly critiques narrow applications of Catholic teachings and ideological attitudes. It's not liberal, it's not conservative. It's all about fostering a culture of charitable dialogue around the most complex and contentious issues in the Catholic Church today. It's just Catholic. Episodes will release weekly.
