Welcome to Cross Connections, finding our connection
points and the turns in our lives and faith journeys together.
Merry Christmas! In today's episode we'll get to know your hosts a bit better including how they came to the Episcopal Church, and what background is informing their presence.

December 18, 2024 What Bible Should I Read?
Welcome to Cross Connections, season two, Cover to Cover as we read the whole Bible in a year along with you, from Genesis to Revelation, and discuss the content each week.
We haven't started reading yet - we'll start on January 1, 2025 - so until then, we’re talking about what Bible to read.
Your hosts, from St. David’s Episcopal Church (Radnor), in Wayne, PA are the Rev. Rick Morley, Elliot VanHoy, and Natalee Hill. Join us as we discover how these stories connect us to God, to our inner selves, and to one another, in a world that tries so hard to disconnect us.
You can download our list of Bible versions you might like to explore, and if you'd prefer an app to a physical book, we suggest The Bible App.
