Episode 89 finds the intrepid trio of Charles, Chris, and Helena interviewing the Rev. Tom Warren, Pastor of Peace United Church of Christ in Greensboro, NC. Rev. Warren is also an adjunct professor of sociology at Guilford Tech Community College. This guy is a mensch as he works with Charles and admits it. God’s grace abounds. Rev. Warren talks about his mission trips to Cuba that focus on cultural immersion and solidarity with the Cuban people.
