Our superb guests this week are:
- The Rev. Canon Melissa McCarthy, canon to the ordinary in the Diocese of Los Angeles and chair of the Bishop’s Commission on Climate Change. When she is not doing the work she loves, she can be found wandering in the Sierra Nevada mountains or training her two working dogs.
- The Rev. Phil Hooper, rector of St. Anne Episcopal Church, West Chester, in the Diocese of Southern Ohio. He is a contributor to several Episcopal publications and spends his free time exploring the landscapes and history of the Midwest with his fiancé, Matt. His sermons and writings can be found at byanotherroad.com.
- The Thoughtful Eli Crowley, from the Diocese of the Rio Grande. A member of the Official Youth Presence at the 81st General Convention, he also serves on the Task Force on Creation Healing as Christian Ministry.
Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, The Episcopal Church’s interim officer for Indigenous Ministries.

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 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 6220 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.
