Preaching Proper 19 (B)

In this episode of Prophetic Voices, we’ll be discussing the lectionary for Proper 19 (B), which takes place this year on Sunday, September 15. We discuss Mark 8:27-38, Acts 17, James 3:1-12, Romans 8:19-23, and Genesis 2:19-20. Our amazing guests this week are: Dr. David O’Hara, professor of religion, philosophy, classics, and environmental studies at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, S.D., where he is also the director of Environmental Studies and Sustainability. He studies the diverse relationships between fish and forests, global water systems, and the way our beliefs take concrete form in what we build. He loves sharing books, tea, and the great outdoors with others - especially with his wife, the Rev. Dr. Christina O'Hara. The Rev. Canon Anna E. Rossi, canon precentor and director of Interfaith Engagement at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco. In this role, she stewards the community's liturgical and sacramental life, diocesan festivals, and occasions that gather community across confessional lines. The Rev. Phil Hooper, SMMS, rector of Saint Anne Episcopal Church in West Chester, Ohio, and board member of the Center for Deep Green Faith. Phil has interests in writing, contemplative spirituality, and creation care.   Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev.
