Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Sacred Cycle: An Introduction to the Liturgical Year with the Most Rev. Dr. William Behun
Q: Why does the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrate the Transfiguration after Pentecost even though it happened before the crucifixion?
The dating of the feast is interesting and relates to the many events happening in the liturgical calendar, with the origins being something to research further.
Saint Expedite with Rev. Jonathan Stewart
Q: What would make Saint Expedite a Johannite saint?
His cult is ancient and recognizes the heritage from Haiti, aligning with the ethos of the Apostolic Johannite Church that blends traditional and esoteric practices.
Women's Ordination - A Reclamation with Rev. Angie Wisk-Nowell
Q: What arguments are used against women's ordination?
Arguments against women's ordination often cite biblical passages that seemingly prohibit women from speaking in the church, despite historical evidence of women in leadership roles.
When you can't see the magic - Aphantasia and the Spiritual Path with Most Rev Brenden Humberdross
Q: Do you consider Aphantasia to be a disability?
I don't necessarily consider that a disability. I think that term disability is very loaded and denotes lack; it's simply a difference that we need to work around.
The Divine Feminine in Sethian Gnosticism with Joanne Leone
Q: Do you have a website or something where you have recommended books?
Joanne shares resources for further reading for those interested in the Divine Feminine and Gnosticism, including works by Karen King.
