Doug Pagitt sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and poet Eliza Griswold to talk about her new book, Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love, Power, and Justice in an American Church. They are joined by Shane and Katie Claiborne who were part of the early Circle of Hope community.
"Through generational rifts, an increasingly politicized religious landscape, a pandemic that prevented gathering to worship, and a rise in foundation-shaking activism, Circle of Hope tells a propulsive, layered story of what we do to stay true to our beliefs. It is a soaring, searing examination of what it means for us to love, to grow, and to disagree."
Eliza Griswold is a Pulitzer Prize–winning American journalist and poet. Griswold is currently a contributing writer to The New Yorker and a Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University.
Shane Claiborne is a prominent speaker, activist, and best-selling author. He and his wife, Katie helped found, and still live in, The Simple Way community in Philadelphia.
