Join us for a special live recording of the beloved podcast Person Place Thing with host Randy Cohen, coming to St. Luke’s Lutheran Church on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM.

This engaging evening will feature a thoughtful and lively conversation with Bishop Katrina Foster, along with a musical performance by Broadway artist Ashley Wool.

Person Place Thing is an interview show based on the idea that people are most engaging when they speak not directly about themselves, but about something they care about—person, place, or thing. Expect humor, insight, and surprising stories in a warm, intimate setting.

About Bishop Katrina Foster

Bishop Katrina Foster was ordained on December 4, 1994, and served at Fordham Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Bronx from 1994 to 2010 — establishing the congregation as a powerhouse for faith-based community organizing. Bishop Foster then served St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Amagansett, NY, building a $13 million, 40-unit low-income senior housing project, and Incarnation Lutheran Church in Bridgehampton, NY, from 2010 to 2015, and St. John’s Lutheran Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, from 2015 to 2025, teaching financial stewardship and financial literacy.

The particular ministries of evangelism, discipleship, and financial stewardship have been passions of Bishop Foster throughout her thirty years of parish ministry in MNYS. She is also focused on building affordable housing throughout the synod and hopes to inspire the wider church with these passions and new directions for ministry.

Pastor Foster lives in the Bronx, commutes to the synod offices by train, and believes that the city's mass transit system is a glimpse of what the Kingdom of God looks like.
