191: When God becomes More: Rev. Dr. Fatimah Salleh

Rev. Dr. Fatimah Salleh began life as Muslim;  converted as a teenager to the LDS Church;  served a mission; taught LDS Institute,  and then, responding to a call, she attended Duke Divinity School.  Following a period of discernment, she was recently ordained a Baptist minister.

Her call to ministry is part of a colourful journey into finding a God for all and for the least.  God is too often the product of a White Western Patriarchy and as a Black, Brown woman whose spiritual life was percolated in the intersection of different faith traditions Fatimah is passionate about  preaching a God that holds, loves and ministers to everyone.
