On today's episode we hear a rebroadcast of a 2025 special book talk sponsored by CS3 and the Dresher Center. The event featured Dr. Felipe Filomeno, Professor of Political Science and Director of the UMBC Global Studies Program. Dr. Filomeno discusses his recent book, entitled Christian Cosmopolitanism: Faith Communities Talk Immigration (2025, Temple University Press). In the talk, Dr. Filomeno explores how Christian congregations can help expand solidarity across boundaries of identity.
