Janet Wolf and Non-Violent Organizing

The Well QA Podcast

Janet Wolf is our guest this week on The Well QA Podcast. Janet has worked as a poverty rights organizer, United Methodist pastor with urban and rural congregations; college and seminary professor; learner, teacher, and animator with think tanks inside prisons.

She recently retired from the Children’s Defense Fund where she was focused on public theology, transformative justice, and nonviolent direct action organizing to disrupt and dismantle the cradle to prison pipeline through leadership by and partnership with those who are now or have been caged.

She is the Dean of CDF’s Proctor Institute’s Dale P. Andrews Freedom Seminary. Her recent book is Practicing Resurrection: The Gospel of Mark and Radical Discipleship.
