After the Likeness

Zion!!  You’ve heard it in church four million times, and it’s come up quite a lot in recent times with all of the political unrest in the Middle East.  But what IS Zion?  If only we had a priest who could it explain it to us… Oh hey look, it’s Father Eric!

Guess what!  We finish the entire series today!  Hear about why we close out the service the way we do, and even better for us short-attention-spanned people, it’s our shortest episode yet.  Thanks for listening! Make sure to submit questions and comments for future episodes to [email protected]!

We almost did it! One more to go after this one, I promise. Probably. In this one we discuss the Offertory and get all the way up to the point where we're about to take Communion! Plus some talk of Lent! Thanks for listening! Make sure to submit questions and comments for future episodes to [email protected]!

Onward! It's been a short five months-ish since last time, but we're back and we're pumped and finishing the Eucharist. And by finishing it, I mean finishing the first half of it. But we tried, dang it! Thanks for listening! Make sure to submit questions and comments for future episodes to [email protected]!

THIS IS WHY WE DOO IIIIIT Sha la la la la la la lowwww.  You just got Montelled.  Join us for part 2 of this series where we discuss much more of the service!  Of course we still didn’t make it through the whole thing, but boy did we sort of try!  Thanks for listening!

Ever wonder why we sit and stand and kneel so much?  Or why the things are on the altar that are on the altar?  Or why we carry the gospels so high down the aisle?  There are a lot of questions to be answered about our liturgy and we’re here for it.  Join us as we walk through the Sunday service and tell you all about why we do the things we do!  But first, it’s been 28 years since the last podcast, so we spend some time catching up.  Thanks for listening!

Don’t worry! This is not an obituary!  Matt asked Father Eric once about how he became a priest and what led him to that decision.  But, Matt, being Matt and all, has forgotten most of it because this was discussed during a Saints game.  So today, Father Eric tells Matt and all of you how about his life and how all this fun began!  It’s a heck of a story.  Thanks for listening!

Holy Week is over but Easter is still here!  Have you ever been asked by a barista what Episcopalians believe about salvation and had no idea what to say to sound like you have any idea what you’re talking about?  Matt has! And that’s what we talk about first!  After that we dive into predestination and how Episcopalians see this topic. Thanks for listening!

Hellooo!  In today’s episode we tackle our old unlucky buddy Job.  That’s Job, not Job.  We also talk a lot about the Book of Common Prayer and the Morning Office.  Something for everyone! Thanks for listening! Make sure to submit questions and comments for future episodes to [email protected]!

We’re back! I wonder how many times I’ve typed that in the tenure of this podcast now. After an unintended hiatus, we have returned to discuss what it means to be Max Episcopalian. Or maybe a 9th degree Episcopalian? I recently concussed Father Eric reveals all the secrets he learned about reaching peak Episcopalianism during his out of mind out of body state. Or maybe some stuff he picked up during seminary and his personal faith journey. But either way, tune in! Thanks for listening!
