An Interview with Robert Vivar
Manage episode 429374791 series 2080467
In this episode, we speak with Robert Vivar, migration missioner for the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego since January 2023. Having lived on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border, Robert understands the factors driving sustained levels of global migration as well as the vulnerabilities of people forced to leave their homes. He also brings to this role a deep faith in God and long-established connections with organizations serving migrants, asylum seekers, deported veterans, and others in need on both sides of the border.
We invite you to tune in to our conversation with Robert Vivar. He offers such a fresh and genuine perspective on questions of enduring importance: Who is our neighbor? How might the notion of "courageous love" help us respond to our neighbors’ deepest needs? Where and how are we called to be the church in today’s world? Whether borderlands are part of your current landscape or a distant reality, we think you will find this conversation with Robert as invigorating as we did. Join us in embracing "courageous love" as we welcome our newest neighbors.
