In this episode of Prophetic Voices, we’ll be discussing the Easter Day (C) lectionary. The texts covered are Isaiah 65:17-25 and John 20:1-18, along with “Resurrecting Wounds: Living in the Afterlife of Trauma” by Shelly Rambo.

Our guests this week are:

• The courageous Elijah Granier, an executive assistant for Ernst & Young. He grew up in a non-denominational faith tradition and lives in New Orleans. He is passionate about ending racism and making the world a safer place for his godchildren, who he loves spoiling and spending time with. 
• The Rev. Michele Morgan, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Capitol Hill, in the Diocese of Washington. Morgan is from Calgary, Alberta. They like cross-stitching and are passionate about bike commuting, gun violence prevention, and Wynnona Earp (a cult TV show). She and her wife are currently looking for a dog to adopt.
• The passionate Elishia McAllister, an Episcopal seminarian at Berkeley Divinity School, pursuing their Master of Divinity at Yale while raising their two children. McAllister is from New Orleans and is loves all things related to phytomedicine and gastronomy; they are passionate about improving educational outcomes for marginalized, underserved, and/or disenfranchised youth.

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.
