16th 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 16th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Proper 21 or Lectionary 26, which falls on September 25th this year, including our deep dive into economic justice v. toxic charity!

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. Make sure you check out our Merch Store for our new merch, just in time for Halloween! Kay mentioned Brad Pitt’s attempt at post-Katrina housing in the deep dive. Emily talked about the 5th girl of the Birmingham church bombing in the Patreon version of the episode. We mentioned last week’s episode with Dr. Filipe Maia on Capitalism for the 15th Sunday after Pentecost. For more about reparations and their importance in economic justice, check out the 1619 Project and its resources. Kay mentioned there are further details to explore on the changes with the Patagonia company. Emily mentioned this article about the endangered animals that are still being hunted for food. In the Gospel reading, Kay talked about the difficulties of making purple dye in ancient times as explained here.

CN: we talk about economic injustice, colonization, racism, and slavery when discussing the deep dive.
