Ann Morisy - Enacting Hope in Troubled Times (N213)

Ann Morisy is a community theologian, community worker and author who has researched and written on everything from the spirituality of public transport, through to the spirituality of ageing. Her works draws on a wide range of research and influences, including sociology, political science, economics and theology.

We ask Ann whether in these increasingly troubled times, her community work and studies are leading her to hope, what can get in the way of our discovery of hope, and what a genuinely hopeful Church looks like?

After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and David Blower reflect on how Anne's understanding of hope might shape their own evolving faith.

Interview starts at 17m 2s.
