Hope & Heresy Podcast

Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left is a podcast for everyday people who want to live meaningfully without letting arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice prevent us from asking big questions about our complicated world.

To understand our world from a liberal-religious perspective, it’s helpful to be armed with the vocabulary to discuss it in depth. Join hosts Reverend Peggy Clarke (Community Church of New York) and Reverend Sarah Lenzi (Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, NJ) for an accessible, soulful season-long exploration of theological terms and terminology.
