In this episode of Prophetic Voices, we’ll be discussing the lectionary for Advent 2 (B). The texts covered in this episode are Isaiah 40:1-11 and Mark 1:1-8. 

Our amazing guests this week are: 

• The cherished Tamara Plummer, from Brooklyn, N.Y., and founder of the podcast Pursuing Call. She is passionate about the intersection of faith and leadership development as we build a world that looks more like God’s dream. 
• The Rev. Lydia Bucklin, from Marquette, Mich., and canon to the ordinary for discipleship and vitality with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan. She is a mother who is passionate about living into our call toward reconciliation and justice.  
• Brother Angel Gabriel, born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He has ministered in several capacities, most recently as a diocesan missioner for youth and young adults as well as a camp director. Angel is currently a seminarian at Seminary of the Southwest. He is a life professed brother of the Brotherhood of St. Gregory, an Episcopal community of friars.

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.
