In the final episode of Season One, Donyelle McCray of Yale Divinity School and host Karen Wright Marsh talk about embodied practices that bring spiritual vitality into everyday life. 

The best kind of spirituality enlivens us: body, soul and spirit. Donyelle McCray and Karen Marsh explore the many ways in which we can practice faith in the world, from self care to soul care, from standing in solidarity to fighting for justice. Even the practices of play and retreat have a place in a full, faithful life. Enjoy this final episode of the Vintage Saints and Sinners Podcast Season One!

Guest Donyelle McCray, Assistant Professor of Homiletics at Yale Divinity School, writes about the ways African American women and lay people use the sermon to play, remember, invent, and disrupt. Her book, The Censored Pulpit: Julian of Norwich as Preacher, offers a homiletical reading of Julian’s life and ministry. Her current research examines the preaching and spirituality of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray. She is also working on a documentary film on Race, Church, and Theological Practices.
