The program will include a sermon preached by Westerhoff and a five-minute interview with her conducted by the program's executive producer and host, Peter Wallace.

In her sermon, titled "Pentimento," which alludes to repentance, Westerhoff tells about her visit to an exhibit of photographs from lynchings that took place in the first part of the 20th century. These horrible events draw her to conclude that "Jesus' death was also as a lynching that joins him with others to demonstrate “that violence will not have the last word. Rather, Christ's suffering provides the final pronouncement of love."
 
Before her retirement, Westerhoff served as canon for ministry for the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, where she has been licensed to preach for more than 20 years. She is nationally known as a conference leader and speaker, has written four books and is working on a fifth, a collection of essays on hope. She has also co-authored two books with her husband, the Rev. Dr. John Westerhoff.

She is a graduate of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, and a member of St. Anne's Episcopal Church, Atlanta.
