It draws on both Hebrews 11, and its description of the cloud of witnesses, and Ephesians 4 with its directive to equip saints for the work of ministry. The phrase “saints before us” invites listeners to consider the duality of its meaning: In that, the new season of the podcast focuses on Missouri’s Black United Methodist Churches and highlights both the work of the saints that came before us and offers an invitation to the saints currently before us to carry that legacy.</p>

Episode 4: Engaging the Community for Justice in St. Louis
<h3>About This Episode</h3> <p><strong>St. Louis, Missouri</strong>. Union Memorial was founded in 1846 on three foundations: Love which is a God-given light from heaven, a spark of that immortal fire which angels share. Faith which binds us to the infinite. Hope, the balm and life-blood of the soul. Union Memorial is unique in many ways, such as hosting W.E.B. Du Bois in 1913 and being the second largest structure of its kind in the United States (a hyperbolic paraboloid shell). The congregation at Union Memorial has a long, proud heritage of community-based social justice.</p> <h3><br /> In This Episode</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:00: A Rich and Proud History<br /> 6:21 People Felt Supported and Heard<br /> 7:30 An Honor to Be a Part of the Legacy<br /> 10:34 Connections to Africa University<br /> 13:20 Leaving Leffingwell and Pine Location<br /> 19:10 Mission and Vision<br /> 21:45 Debts and Apportionments<br /> 25:44 Restoration: To Restore the People and the Hearts of the People<br /> 29:30 Simplified Model of Church Governance<br /> 30:45 175 Years of Service and History<br /> 35:09 The Pandemic and After<br /> 38:14 Resilience in Our DNA<br /> 40:00 Fighting In and With the Methodist Church</span><br /> <br /></p> <h3>About This Podcast</h3> <p>The Faith and Race Podcast is designed to help faithful people host conversations about race, faith and the Church.
