Nathan Phelps: The Death of My Father
b'Fred Phelps, reviled (and excommunicated) pastor of Westboro Baptist Church, built his life upon a foundation of hatred: the protests of military funerals, the condemnation of homosexuals, professed gratitude to God for terrorist attacks, and much more.
Recent news reports of Fred Phelps\' death have again brought his name and face to worldwide attention, prompted by a public statement from his own son, Nathan, who escaped Wesboro and has become a champion of human rights in the face of his father\'s hatred.
In this podcast, we talk to Nathen Phelps. \\xa0About his father. \\xa0About his father\'s death. \\xa0About the celebratory public response.\\xa0 About the Westboro legacy. \\xa0And about the often conflicted feelings of a father\'s son at a time when he is denied access, or should he choose it, the opportunity to say "goodbye."
Join us for a compelling discussion.
