Awakening to Justice: A.G. Miller and Doug Strong on Faithful Abolitionist Voices

In this episode of Faithful Politics, co-host Josh Burtram dives into a profound discussion with A.G. Miller and Doug Strong, contributors to the book Awakening to Justice: Faithful Voices from the Abolitionist Past. The conversation weaves through the fascinating discovery of a nearly 200-year-old abolitionist diary, authored by David Ingram, a white missionary who served freed slaves in Jamaica. The episode highlights Ingram's seamless integration of evangelical faith with social justice, as he fervently advocated for the oppressed. A.G. and Doug also spotlight two other key voices from the book, Nancy Prince and James Bradley, whose personal faith journeys illuminate the courage of African Americans in the face of systemic injustice. Drawing parallels between historical abolitionist efforts and today's racial and political divides, the guests explore how the lessons of the past can guide believers to embrace justice and love in contemporary society. With timely reflections on the role of faith in addressing modern challenges, this episode invites listeners to consider what it truly means to live out one’s beliefs in a divided world.
