Status Pending bonus episode: Pastor Dee and teacher resettlement

Dee Anderson was a pastor at West Granville Presbyterian Church for forty years. He retired in 2025, but for years he helped oversee the resettlement of international teachers coming to teach in Milwaukee Public Schools.

You heard from two of those teachers in a previous Status Pending episode - Chigozie Okonkwo and Chioma Mba, from Nigeria. They’re part of Dee’s congregation, and that’s how WUWM’s Audrey Nowakowski and Katherine Kokal met him.

Here’s Pastor Dee talking about why his church stepped up to meet the moment, and how it’s changed them for the better.
