The Power of Parable: Personal Story-telling as a Tool for Advocacy in the Church

Friday April 17, 2026 11:45am - 12:30pm EDT

Gezon Auditorium

From that space, she discusses the power of telling her own family's stories as parables that dismantle systemic and personal defensive structures of the Church to open ears, hearts, and minds.
