Bartcast 59: Rose Berger; Interfaith Delgation to Ukraine

Bartcast

On Memorial Day 2022, Elaine & Ched interviewed Rose Berger, Senior Editor at Sojourners Magazine and veteran Catholic peace and justice activist. Rose was 48 hours back from a week-long international, interreligious Peace Delegation to Ukraine—the first such group to visit Kyiv since the Russian invasion began on Feb 24, 2022. The religious leaders visited Kyiv and surrounding areas and met religious and political leaders, Ukrainian nonviolent activists, and survivors of the war’s violence. In this half-hour conversation, Rose lays out the purpose of this trip and shares poignant moments from the trip: stories of bombing victims, faith leaders doing relief work on the ground, and continuing calls for solidarity (“Do not forget Ukraine!”).
