Summary

Ohioans to Stop Executions is the organization leading the effort to abolish capital punishment. The organization recently released a letter to the state legislature signed by dozens of faith leaders representing more than 15 denominations statewide who believe the death penalty serves no moral purpose. My guest is one the signers on the letter, Pastor Joel Shenk of the Toledo Mennonite Church.
