Details
As Charles Strobel, beloved Nashville priest and advocate for the unhoused, reached the end of his life in 2023, he began to contemplate the last message he wanted to leave for his family, friends, and community. With the help of his niece, Katie Seigenthaler, and his colleague, Amy Frogge, Charlie began to dictate The Kingdom of the Poor. The "why" of Charlie Strobel's life, which was devoted to helping the homeless and disenfranchised people of Nashville, was a simple motivating belief that we are all poor and we are all worthy of love. "The Kingdom of the Poor" is the story of how he came to this understanding, and lived his life accordingly once he had.
This event is part of the TN Writers | TN Stories series.
