13th Sunday after Pentecost Year C

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Proper 18 or Lectionary 23, which falls on September 4th this year, including our deep dive into Life!

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. The Alan Turing movie we mentioned was The Imitation Game. Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg’s brilliance on why gender inclusive language in conversations about abortion is important and on the Jewish case for abortion justice. Kay mentioned the book Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. For more on prison abolition, check out last year’s Easter episode with the now Rev. Elle Dowd and for more on capital punishment, check out this year’s Good Friday episode. Emily talked about Blackfoot Nation beliefs that Maslow stole for his hierarchy of needs. Kay mentioned Conway’s Game of Life. Emily mentioned this year’s episode on blessings and curses. Check out this reading list for a Black Geographies class for your next read.

CN: we talk about reproductive justice (sterilization, abortion, etc) genocide when discussing the deep dive, slavery in Philemon (and throughout).
