In this episode of season 7 of Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community, we speak with Episcopalians committed to the Beloved Community about preaching Rogation Days (I). The texts covered in this episode are Jeremiah 14:1-9, Romans 8:18-25, Mark 4:26-32.

Our guests this week are the following:

• The Rev. Kerri Meyer, founding priest and farmer at Good Courage Farm, an agrarian ministry affiliated with The Episcopal Church in Minnesota. Prior to returning to her Midwestern roots in 2019, she served as associate rector at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco.
• The Rev. Glenna Huber, fifteenth rector of Church of the Epiphany in Washington, D.C. She lives with her husband, two children, a dog, and lots of fish. 
• Dr. David O’Hara, chair of the religion department at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he also directs programs in philosophy, environmental studies, and sustainability.

Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, The Episcopal Church’s staff officer for Racial Reconciliation. For more information on Becoming Beloved Community, visit iam.ec/becomingbelovedcommunity.

Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community

Across our church and our society, we are having profound dialogues about race, truth, justice, and healing. Coming this Advent, Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community explores where that dialogue intersects with our faith. Join us and our invited guests as we share prophetic voices and explore the readings for each week of Advent and Christmas Day through the lens of social justice.

You’ll hear ancient texts interpreted in new ways, find fodder for preaching and teaching, and make present day connections to the prophetic voices of the Bible. This podcast will help us rethink how we hear, see, and interact with the lectionary readings.

Church of the Redeemer

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.

The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
