Episode 23

Join us as we sit down with Alexia Salvatierra, an LA-based Lutheran Pastor with over 35 years of experience in community ministry, including church-based service and community development programs, congregational and community organizing, and legislative advocacy. In addition to coordinating the Welcoming Congregations/Guardian Angels Network for the Southwest California Synod of the ELCA, she currently serves as faculty for Fuller Theological Seminary and consultant (training, facilitating, organizing, and leading strategic planning) for a variety of national/international organizations, including World Vision USA/World Vision International/Women of Vision, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Christian Community Development Association. 

We talk about public policy, what advocacy and partnerships look like between churches, the impact of COVID on immigrant communities, and serving our cities well.
