Intersections with Phil Allen, Jr. addresses this challenge in this week\u2019s episode, \u201cThe Latinx Lens: Keeping Faith in the Face of Injustice.\u201d Joining us for this lively conversation is our guest, In\xe9s Vel\xe1squez-McBryde (https://inesmcbryde.com/), who describes herself as \u201ca pastor, reconciler and imperfect follower of Jesus.\u201d More specifically, McBryde is Chaplain at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA, and received her Master of Divinity degree from Fuller\u2019s School of Theology. She is also co-founder with Pastor Bobby Harrison of The Church We Hope For (https://thechurchwehopefor.com/), a southern California-based church which continues its growth and outreach online in spite of the global pandemic.\n \nEqually assured in her voice and her faith, McBryde was introduced to injustice early in life. Working in her youth as a translator for American missionaries in her native Nicaragua, McBryde saw first-hand the debilitating impact of systemic racism. In \u201cThe Latinx Lens: Keeping Faith in the Face of Injustice,\u201d McBryde discusses her background as a Nicaraguan-American, her commitment to her faith and shares the tools she uses to battle injustice whenever and wherever it appears. In a journey punctuated by trauma and shattering revelations within her faith, McBryde continues to represent herself and her faith as a woman, as Latinx and a woman of color, and as a leader with a voice and vision.\n \nJoin us for \u201cThe Latinx Lens: Keeping Faith in the Face of Injustice\u201d on Intersections with Phil Allen, Jr.\n____________\nPhil Allen, Jr. is a Los Angeles-based pastor, social justice activist, filmmaker and author.
