June 24 - Karen Refugees in Minnesota - Rev Bill Englund
This week on Considering Faith we'll be talking about the Karen refugees in Minnesota. The Karen ethnicity originally comes from Burma, a country in Southeast Asia that has been been ruled by a dictatorship for decades. Because of religious and ethnic persecution, the Karen population has immigrated to the US. Currently, Minnesota holds the largest number of the Karen population, with over 1,500 refugees living in St Paul.
This week we'll be talking with Reverend Bill Englund. Reverend Englund pastors a church that was home to the first Karen families to immigrate to Minnesota and now is one of the primary churches of the Karen population.

If you would like to learn more, the Karen Konnection website has lots of information on the population.
June 17 - Faith and the Labor Movement
What is the interaction between faith and the labor movement? This week on Considering Faith, we'll be analyzing two institutions that aren't typically viewed together: churches and organized labor. We'll be talking with organizers and ministers about how people's faith have been used to encourage fair labor practices both throughout history and in the present-day.
