About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:
Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart. This belief led our founder, Bishop Todd Hunter, to start the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace in 2021. The Center brings together a diverse, interdenominational community of people who want to be formed in love to heal a broken world. Because “religion” is often part of the problem, we’ve created a brave, Jesus-centered space for dialogue, questioning, creating, and exploration. PEACE TALKS introduces you to women and men who are working to undo oppression, leading to lives of deeper peace for all.

Mariah Humphries hosts the Rev. Jin Cho in the latest episode of Peace Talks. Cho details his experience of creating safe and brave spaces to talk about racial justice and of prioritizing curiosity in the people with whom he works for racial unity. Cho's wise words are worth a listen.

The Rev. Dr. Jin H. Cho is an Anglican priest committed to helping local congregations have courageous conversations about race and justice. He received his doctorate of ministry from Fuller Seminary for his project to encourage such dialogue among pastors in his city entitled “Race, Evangelicalism, and the Local Church.” He leads a diocesan task force for diversity and inclusion, and works with the Brehm Center (Fuller Seminary) to help pastors integrate worship, preaching, and justice. He has over twenty years of experience leading churches, and is currently working on a missional church plant in Orange County, California. He and his far more interesting wife Esther have two extremely extroverted teenagers.
