  • Outstanding Episcopal podcast

    I read the lectionary during the week, so Friday is the perfect time for me to hear a reflection based on the readings. There is so much I like about the show, but in general, it's one of the activities in my week that I don't need a reminder to do. Melissa and Bp. Rob have a great chemistry. Bp. Rob has a special blend of theology and real world application that appeals to me. Melissa has an enquiring mind and does an excellent job of eliciting helpful comments from the Bp.

  • Christian Nationalism

    Thank you for this series! So many Episcopal churches (including mine) refuse to acknowledge this issue. I commend to you, Eliza Griswold’s newest book. Diana Butler Bass held an intriguing interview with her as part of her Substack, The Cottage, this week.

  • This political moment

    Thanks so much for shedding light on the Christian Nationalist movement infecting our body politic. Both episodes so far have made where we stand as Christians very clear. I am going to share with my friends on our Commission for Racial Reconciliation in the Diocese of Tennessee.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Three Kinds Of Sheep
Q: What does it mean to be a sent sheep in today's world, given the dangers and complexities around us?
Being sent means living as ambassadors who act with divine guidance, focusing on love and service in real-world contexts, and letting one's calendar, pursuits, and partnerships be shaped by fidelity to Jesus' purposes rather than personal comfort.
Rediscovering Togetherness with Senator Jon Ossoff
Q: Say a little bit about these midterms.
The host asks about the significance of the midterms, and Ossoff explains that restoring checks and balances and countering abuses of power are central aims, while emphasizing the mobilization potential that controversy around voting rights can trigger across diverse communities.
Foretaste
Q: What can you control today in the midst of upheaval?
The Bishop emphasizes focusing on internal commitments and local actions—loving in the moment, influencing those within one's reach, and avoiding paralysis from national political cycles.
Foretaste
Q: So Bishop, why this quote and why now?
The host asks why Dorothy Day's perspective is relevant today, and the Bishop explains that Day, along with other thinkers, offers a concrete framework for living out love amid contemporary challenges, tying biblical principles to current social realities.
Alive!
Q: How should faith influence our approach to politics and public life?
Faith should lead to humility and listening rather than partisan posturing, with a focus on human dignity and solidarity; the church should model conversation and care, apologizing when necessary and prioritizing the beloved community over political agendas.
