Welcome to the One Georgia Podcast! Today Bishop Dease talks with Rev. Abra Lattany-Reed about her call to ministry as a bi-vocational pastor, the ministry of presence, elevating the role of the church in diversity and justice matters, and the hard work of dismantling racism. 
 
Abra serves in the South Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church as Director of Diversity and Justice Ministries. 
 
We are a community that does life together. As a way to strengthen our connection, you are encouraged to drive around your community this week and ask, "God, what would it look like for me to elevate your word here? What would it look like for me to dismantle the systems that are there, to disrupt with holiness and word, and how can we honor your kingdom?"
