13th Sunday after Pentecost Year A

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) and special guest Bp. Brenda Bos (she/her) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Lectionary 21 or Proper 16, which falls on August 27th this year, including our deep dive into the Office of the Keys! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  We mentioned last week’s episode with the Canaanite woman in Matthew, last season’s Ash Wednesday episode with Aubrey Thonvold on reconciling communities, this season’s Easter Vigil episode with Rabbi Becky Silverstein on midrash, and this season’s 10th Sunday after Pentecost episode with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine on parables.  For more about sheep check out last year’s episode on Easter 4, or Good Shepherd Sunday, with Polly Festa; for more about shame check out our first season episode on the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost with Rev. Callie Swanlund; for more about alcoholism check out last season’s episode on the 2nd Sunday after Epiphany with Rev. Ingrid Brown.

CN: we talk about the holocaust and antisemitism as well as abuse, especially church abuse, when discussing the deep dive.

We talk about abuse in the Gospel conversation.
