Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community

The Episcopal Churchepiscopalchurch.org
Across our church and our society, we are having profound dialogues about race, truth, justice, and healing. 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 lectionary 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 throughout the liturgical year.
