This episode of The VUU explores power dynamics between ministers and religious educators and how LREDA Good Officers are specifically trained to counsel and mediate these relationships. We also get into a spirited discussion about the possibilities of shared ministry and collaboration along with the risks for speaking out and the culture of secrecy that can build up. Our guest is Meagan Henry, LREDA Board member with the Professional Support and Good Offices portfolio.
