The start of the new season in 2024 marks the end of the current season for Tent Talks. We are bringing our podcast in to land, with a series of final thoughts from former guests, hosts and friends of the show. Join Stephen Backhouse in a series of conversations as we explore The Last Word. Episode Two features co-host Chris Marchand offering a coda to his series on "Women in Church Leadership" with conversations from sociologist Lisa Weaver Swartz, author of Stained Glass Ceilings and Anglican priest Amanda Holm Rosengren.
