This is a special episode in memory of Michael Gerson. Michael was a White House speechwriter and senior policy adviser, a Washington Post columnist and one of America’s most influential and eloquent commentators.
He also possessed one of the most important consciences of his generation. That conscience was shaped by his deep Christian faith, and his work relied on the Christian tradition to call America to greater justice. In particular, he’s remembered for the global health efforts he championed, including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR. His faith touched almost every aspect of his work.
To mark the three years since Michael passed away due to cancer on November 17, 2022, we’re presenting this edited version of his comments at a Trinity Forum evening conversation held in 2016.
Hearing him again reminds us of Michael’s extraordinary mind, as well as his heart.
You can find the full video of the conversation on our Trinity Forum website, ttf.org. You can become a member there too.
